Ken is a great host, extremely friendly and really knows the island. He provides great tips for where to go and if you're lucky, he may take you on one of his off the beaten track hikes.
Ken's place is shared with other rooms and has a very homely atmosphere. The house is dated and is typical of the local Hawaiian homes in the area. The house is walking distance to everything you need including the beach. For anything else further away, the local buses can also take you around the island for around $5.50 per day. Overall, the price of the room reflects the comfort level provided and is much cheaper than the hotels at Waikiki beach command. I would highly recommend for you to stay at Ken's place.
