The apartment is centrally located to Waikiki beach, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The bus stop is one block away and you can take it to diamond head crater and the airport. The bus to hanamua bay is 3 blocks away. If you rent a car, street parking is limited and expensive in private parking lots. The view from the balcony cannot be beat. We were there for New Year's Eve and could see fireworks from the entire surrounding area. Check in was extremely easy and Joanne was in regulR communication with us and prompt to respond to all our needs and concerns. The building has many residents and on rare occasion the elevator can be slow but that is minor inconvenience. Overall if you are looking for a great value in the center of Waikiki this is the place for you
