My niece and I spent a week at Ellen's place and absolutely loved it. The place was as described and Ellen and her family were very kind. Ellen was a friendly and responsive host. The location on the North Shore is great if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and the city. The parking area at the rental is a bit small, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have a truck or SUV, but perhaps Ellen has a solution such as street parking close by... I wouldn't let the tight parking deter you from checking into this place if that's the only thing holding you back. It is a lovely little place and we found it very comfortable!
