Charity's place was perfect for our family of seven. The house is located on the hills with a great panoramic view of Honolulu and the ocean - it was the best spot to see all the fireworks during New Year's Eve (and they know how to celebrate on Hawaii, the fireworks lasted from 6pm till 1am!!!). It's also great location with quick drive to major roads to get to the city, lagoons on the east, sandy beaches on the west or remote north coast. The house is a bit dated but everything was clean and working with a very well equipped kitchen. It truly grew on us and we felt like home after couple of days and could imagine just staying there forever :)
Charity and Pono were very engaged hosts, extremely helpful and very communicative - they responded quickly to all the questions, proactively reached out before the trip with all the instructions and warm welcome and gave us tons of local tips, even recommending a friend for a diving tour.
