We recently stayed at Julia's place andwe were pleasantly surprised at how cozy it was. This was our second time staying on Oahu but the first time staying in the Waikiki area. We were in town for our son's wedding and we stayed near the wedding party. While we prefer the quiet of the north shore we were very pleased with Julia's place. We were concerned about it being a high rise, parking, wait for the elevator, and ease of getting to the beaches. However Julia's place is very conveniently located and Waikiki Beach was just a minutes walk away. We never had a long wait for the elevators. Parking was provided at a cost of 30.00 per day but it was in a parking garage just under the building. I would definitely recommend and would book again if I were going to stay back in this area.
