As you drive up the last incline to Neil's place, what I refer to as the "Temple Studio" and slip into the off-street parking place you get your first hint of the beauty awaiting you, a total view of Manoa Valley. Take five steps and you enter a welcoming, calm and peaceful space. Everywhere you look is the green of the valley and if you pause and listen you hear the wind, the rain and the birds. The large bathroom is always cool from the breeze coming through the window and the shower is the perfect water pressure and temp. The king bed is total comfort with a wonderful valley view as you prop yourself against the headboard and puts you instantly to sleep when you close your eyes. The Manoa Valley rain and breeze only add to your relaxation. There are plenty of things to do nearby but you can also just hang out and feel the peace of the valley.
