We were very familiar with Honolulu when we chose this location. The downtown area tends to be less busy than Waikiki. This condo is in a great location with many places to eat nearby. The parking garage can be daunting at first to guests not familiar with high rises. The view from the studio is breathtaking. This condo was perfect for a family of three. Would not recommend for a family with young children. Use caution walking at night, Waikiki and the downtown area tends to have homeless, especially meth-heads. Overall, Vinny’s apartment is a great value since parking is free.
