Look no further! Brian's apartment was perfect. Located on the main drag, which if u go straight down to the left you will be at Waikiki Beach, it IS a busy street full if street noise, but it's not bothersome. It's actually pretty cool to sit on the balcony outside of the bedroom and watch all the sites and sounds, and beautiful mountain view. The bed is comfortable, with foam mattress topper for extra comfort. Plenty of bedroom and living room space. Plenty of bath and beach towels, and beach equipment such as folding chairs..No TV in the bedroom, but there is a VERY comfortable sofa bed couch in the living room. Perfect for kids or guests, or yo sleep in instead of in the bedroom if u want reduced noise. Just keep the bathroom and bedroom doors closed. There IS an elevator, and it is right outside the apartment, with only 1 other unit on that side of the floor, so the unit feels pretty private and exclusive. There is a 7/11 with parking lot (no longterm or overnight parking) on the corner, so if u rent a car or Uber, pull into that lot to load and unload. Check in instructions are very simple and straightforward. Bring ur bubble bath bc the bathtub is nice and deep and the shower feels AMAZING. Kitchen is fully equipped, no bugs, cleaning supplies provided. Strong wifi, and u can sign in to ur Netflix. A/C unit is in bedroom only though, and is against the wall by the balcony. We didn't realize it was there the 1st night. Brian is available to answer any questions and even delivered an iron for us! Thanks for hosting us Brian! Oh, and if u travel during Halloween u will be in the perfect location to watch ALL the festivities from the balcony!
Parking Tips:
If u own a handicap placard u don't pay for metered parking or are bound by time limits. There is metered parking on McCully street directly across the street, where ur car is visible from the balcony, next to the a 24 hour laundry mat and 2nd 7/11 in front of the building with the blue whale mural seen in Brian's pics...and from the plane! On Ena street u will find an abundance of metered parking right around the corner from the unit, but metered is only until 10pm, so overnight parkers fill up spots rather quickly as 10pm approaches, so parking before then. If u have a late night bc u went somewhere like the Polynesian Cultural Center, go ahead and put Red Lobster in ur gps and park off Hobron st along the marina. Walk straight up Hobron past Red Lobster, turn right at end of street (Ena), and left at end of street (dead ends) and u will see ur 7/11 on the corner...a 7-10 minute nice walk. The parking at the marina by Chart House restaurant is NOT metered and safe for overnight parking.
