Our penthouse stay was perfect!! Literally two blocks from the beach and lots of restaurants nearby, comfortable living room sectional and beds, and loved hanging out on the balcony. Everything was perfectly clean, and there were beach towels and chairs for the beach. There is some noise from inside the apartment, like a car alarm on the street or music from a pool deck somewhere, but it's in all of the Waikiki area and never kept us from sleeping or enjoying our time there. Would definitely recommend!
