We had a great stay at Russ's place. Right in the heart of Downtown Waikiki. If you don't mind the noise and hustle + bustle of downtown, this is a prime location. It was a little loud at times with a lot of police sirens going of - so be mindful of that. We booked a lot of excursions and the tour buses picked us up outside of nearby hotels that were a few minutes of a walk away, it was super convenient. Russ was extremely kind, helpful, accommodating, and responsive. Check-in process was really quick and easy.
