This is indeed a cozy, read small studio, in my opinion best for 1 person, as there is little storage room. Otherwise, it is a lovely room with a beautiful view with the ocean in the distance. I loved the 15-20 minute walk through a park right to the beach. To get to "Waikiki Beach" it is also about a 20 minute walk along the road with tons of high end shopping along the way. It is a beautiful beach, but quite crowded in the afternoon. I was happy that it was not in the hub bub of Waikiki. I walked 20 minutes to go grocery shopping at Target. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is about a 30 minute walk. Be aware that if you rent a car, the parking at the Hawaiian Monarch, where this studio is, costs $35 a day. I'm not so sure about street parking, there is some, but it may not be all day. Enjoy Hawaii!
