Olivier was a wonderful host and very helpful. Upon arrival, he helped get us set up in the apartment, let me know where groceries were available, and of course had a welcome pineapple ready for us. He lent us his GPS for our stay which was incredibly useful as we rented a car and wanted to explore the island. When we left, he made a special effort to give our daughter some chocolates for the journey home.

The location was very good, very quiet at night, and only two blocks to what felt like the center of the shopping area of Waikiki. Another two blocks and you are in the middle of the beach which was great.

The place itself was nice and clean. While the main studio itself is not large (it is just as described), the lanai seemed very large and we enjoyed having breakfast out there each morning. We ended up using the pullout bed for a few nights and that was not as comfortable as the main bed - fine for a young kid but not enough padding for an adult (in my opinion). All in all it was great value, and having a great host like Olivier helped make it a very enjoyable stay in Waikiki.
