Prentiss's house is a great place to stay if you want to experience the more local side of Oahu. It's close to local food (shout-out to Hanarra), and a local beach. It's not the most central place, though Oahu is not very big so it's not a huge problem. I recommend to plan ahead expecting pretty bad rush hour traffic if you're traveling to the other side of things (Honolulu, etc).
