My husband and I stayed at Brenda's apartment from 12/7/13 - 12/11/13. The apartment is depicted accurately in the pictures. The kitchen is on the smaller side but it has everything you need. The bed is big and comfortable, and the apartment overall was clean and neat. The bathroom appears to be on the older side but that was clean as well. Brenda was always available and ready to answer whatever questions we had. There was no smoke smell the time when we were there. The location is AWESOME. It's literally one block from the beach, the boardwalk, the shops and restaurants on Waikiki Beach, and an easy 5-10 minute walk to the Honolulu Zoo. There is parking right next to the building for $20 a day, but right by the zoo is free parking and it was safe. The apartment is comfortable for one or 2 people; any more than that makes the apartment too tight. If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient location and home base to explore the rest of the island, this place is it! Thanks Brenda!
