I enjoyed my stay in Eriko's studio. The studio is small, cozy and charming, with all amenities including a/c. Road noise from outside leaks in so I would not call this a quiet neighbourhood but there are restaurants within walking distance and the staff at the front desk are very helpful. It's located in a hotel/condominium complex called the Hawaiian Monarch, at the city end of Waikiki, and within walking distance of the flashy main drag of Waikiki, with a path to the beach and grocery stores nearby--a very useful location. It's a short bus-ride into Honolulu proper--the city, if you need to be in close proximity, and almost next door to the new Conference Centre. I cannot make the same comments about the cleanliness of the studio as I have seen in some other reviews because for the most part I thought the studio was clean enough, and the internet did not let me down. The key card is very sensitive and I had to have it reprogrammed several times, so keep the key card in a pocket away from other ccs and hand-held mobile devices. Eriko herself was kind and enthusiastic about her neighbourhood and although I didn't, I knew I could if I needed to call her any time. GETTING THERE: take the shared commuter shuttle to Hawaiian Monarch and Eriko will meet you in the Lobby with keys and instructions. After hours, the taxi cost me about $45.00.
