Hide’s apartment is located in a very busy area. As someone from NYC, I was eager to stay in a part of Honolulu that felt unique and out of tourist central. This part of Waikiki is very busy and if you walk 5 minutes to the east, it becomes essentially like Times Square. If you are looking for a more relaxed, artistic or low key vibe, I recommend staying in Chinatown. The building is also a bit strange - a combination of what feels like an apartment, a run down hotel & a student dorm. Be aware that the photos of the apartment do not show how small it is - essentially just a bed. The views however are spectacular.
