Heads up to light sleepers, the windows basically cannot be closed to block out sounds. They are glass shutters. That being said, the air conditioner does a pretty job at blocking out sounds.
Zain was great at communicating and is working hard on making the building a great place, and supports his community so it's a great way to support local in a number ways.
The location is prime. There is a bar and a 24/7 711 within like 50ft of the BNB. There are rental street scooters right outside and Ala Moana beach was a great place to swim, and watch surfers. it's really in the heart of downtown. Being able to reserve parking is a blessing as it can be hard to find.
The BNB is very minimally stocked but that keeps things simple, especially with so many stores nearby.
