I had 4 of my friends visit me here in Hawaii and wanted a place in Waikiki close to the beach, airconditioning, and plenty of space for all of us. The pictures are exactly like the apartment, very beautiful. They had plenty of beach equipment and towels. Downstairs is an ABC store for a quick bite, drinks, or anything you might need. The A/C in one room was leaking and our host was quick to fix it when we were out exploring hawaii. Very good with responding. Close to the beach and very walkable to restaurants. Very nice black out curtains. It is not as noisy as some of the posts say... yes they are people walking about, there are some food trucks right outside, and traffic is close. But you are in the heart of Waikiki, so of course it is going to be somewhat loud. I was thinking it might be close to a loud bar or club which it is not! Highly highly recommend!
