I stayed at Soon's place with a friend while we were in Honolulu for vacation. It was our first time visiting Hawaii and it was super easy accessing to everything from Soon's place! As mentioned in the listing, her room is inside the Ala Moana Hotel and it's 15-20 min walk to Waikiki beach. Also, many local buses, as well as tourist buses, do pick up/drop-ff their guests from Ala Moana. Her place was super clean, we enjoyed the quick mini trip to Ala moana mall every day (it's connected to the hotel) and I also enjoyed sunbathing by the pool after our tour too. Overall, my friend and I very much enjoyed her place and our first trip to Honolulu. Highly recommend for anyone but especially for any first time visitors like us :)
