Akemi's place was very nice inside. Fully equipped kitchen. Clean, functional and close to chinatown and botanical gardens. There were a few homeless around but not near the house. My mom is from the country so she felt a bit unsafe but it's in the middle of honolulu so if you are used to the city it's fine.
We have a one year old that likes to walk all over the place and get into things and this place was pretty easy to block things off for him to roam. We definitely had a pleasant stay.
