My favorite things about this place was the ability to just totally chill and watch the water out in the back yard, and go for strolls in the nearby Liliukalani Park. I had specifically told Diana I was seeking something inspirational and I found it in this funny little nook. Early morning meditation time and evening sunsets were the best parts for me. The location is also pretty good in terms of access to restaurants, downtown, and the park. The area is definitely mixed - with industry (you're next to the port), and helicopter traffic, and a big dose of what I would call "old Hawaii." You're surrounded by lots of overgrowth and green foliage, and you really know you're on the island. Two sound things to note: If you plan on hanging around during the day, then know there will be helicopters flying low as they come in to land. I sometimes also could hear the upstairs tenant in the morning, but barely noticed them the rest of the day! I used an app for white noise and ear plugs and that did help so I could sleep in some days. :)
