This unit is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is small, but the space is used really well. Proximity to the beach/shops/restaurants is excellent. Shannon is an outstanding host. The building is right next door to a popular restaurant and surf board rental, so lots of people are coming and going in the area. That said, there is no street noise in the unit at all. There are many homeless people in Waikiki and it was not unusual for them to hang out around the building. The keypad on the front door provides some security. We enjoyed our stay here very much.
