We, (me, my wife, and a couple of friends) stayed at Donald’s place for 5 nights and with no doubt we will stay here again when visiting Oahu.
The apartment has a great location, 15/20 min walking distance to Waikiki beach, 10/15 min walking to Kahanamoku beach, 15/20 min walking distance to bars/restaurants (Duke’s, Beach Bar, etc).
It has a private parking space which is for sure extremely beneficial so you wont have to deal with the very limited spaces to park on the streets of Oahu (w/ Limited parking duration such as 2 hours max, the extra $$, etc)
It has everything you need to cook at home, and different grocery stores within convenient distance (I.e. 10min drive to Safeway’s).
The building has an private pool which isn’t “big” but I think it does the job if you just want to stay “home” and relax. We didn’t use it, and apparently not many people were using it since every time we passed by it was empty (but, would you use a pool if you have a great beach within 20min walking distance?)
We also felt the apartment has somewhat a great geographical location, 20min drive from the airport, 30min drive to the top beaches (lanikai, kailua), 50min to 1 hour to other major and super great beaches (sunset beach, Yokohama bay, sharks cove), so if you plan your trip properly you will take the best of the location and visit multiple places on each drive.
Finally, Donald’s attention - Super helpful and quick in responding messages. The check in process was pretty straight forward. He also took/followed health and safety measures by limiting his in-person interaction to only one of us during the check in.
Overall, great experience, and I will recommend everyone to stay here.
Thanks, Donald.
