Easily 5 stars. Rob’s place is clean, centrally located and has a balcony high up with an amazing view of the canal. The place was well-stocked with things you might need like towels, coffee, snorkel gear, sunblock and beach matts—which we really appreciated not having to buy. The place also has AC for when it gets too hot (we didn’t really use it because the breeze was nice) and the queen bed is very soft (memory foam?). The place is about a 20min walk to Waikiki and a 15min walk to the big outdoor shopping mall with world-class stores. If you’re into Japanese food/culture you must go to Shirokiya Japan Village Walk that’s located there. There’s an ABC Store right around the corner from the apartment, and it’s also adjacent to a boutique hotel where you can get drinks or coffee at the bar. We didn’t meet Rob but he was very communicative and hospitable over text, and even offered us the closer parking spot after another guest wasn’t able to use it. If you think this place suits you don’t hesitate to book!
Pro-tip: I’d recommend looking up the building on Street View beforehand, as it can be a difficult to spot if you’re driving in (there’s really nowhere to pull over).
