Ash's studio is a lovely escape from downtown Waikiki, without being too far from the action. The location is great! Just a short walk to the beach, and there's a hire-car place a few minute's walk away. We walked everywhere during our stay, including to the Ala Moana shopping centre.
The view from the studio is beautiful as per the photos—you can often see kayakers in the river below, and the misty rains in the valleys are an intriguing sight to see. The gym is worthwhile for the flat $5 fee. Ash's place includes all the necessary items to enjoy your Hawaiian escape, including a couple of beach towels and some tea and coffee. The building is dated however the studio itself is modern and light-filled.
Ash was really informative and always responded quickly. We found his studio to be great value for money and a lovely place to base ourselves for our five-day stay in Waikiki, especially in comparison to hotels in the area.
