This is our first time in Oahu and we are glad we stayed in the North Shore area. The apartment is a great location (walking distance to the Beach, Foodland, food trucks), very accessible with the code entry. There is a parking space, but recommend a standard car (no SUV). The neighborhood streets are narrow, so be aware of your surroundings while driving.

The bonus of this place is having access to the beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, cooler and a washer/dryer - we really appreciated it! The outdoor shower is convenient, so we could clean up the gear we borrowed and rinse off the sand.
We didn't interact that much with Jill, but she also had a binder that had everything about the apartment and what she recommends on the North Shore. Read the binder! We used it as our guide.
The other thing Jill noted is that everything you need or want to do is available in the North Shore. We went to Honolulu/Waikiki for one day to visit Pearl Harbor and we could not wait to get back to the tranquility of the North Shore.
