This 1 bedroom apartment is in a perfect location! It's located right above a restaurant that has live music - which was never a problem! The sliding door was airtight enough that you can barely hear any music. Now, the street sounds you can definitely hear but it's not bad... I mean, every now and then you'll hear some car horns or a bus pass through (location is sandwiched between hotels) - it's actually not that bad! I have a light sleeper of a boyfriend who can hear every pin drop when asleep, he managed to sleep through all of the city sounds (we are in the city after all). Again, the location is great! The view, you can't beat. I love looking out at the marina, watching the boats, watching the sunset, to the left of the patio just sitting outside, at night, we can catch some of the fireworks that one of the nearby hotels display! What a deal! After the fireworks, people are fighting to leave the area, so traffic is built up but you don't even have to sit through any of it or even walk to the area to watch - all from the comfort of your patio!! If you wanted some live music, just sit outside on the patio and listen to the music downstairs at the restaurant. They close by midnight and the band stops a little before 10 PM anyway. I'd definitely stay here again - we were 15 minutes walk to Magic Island which I think is less touristy and more quiet considering it's Waikiki area we are in (it's more far west of Waikiki) but I like being away from tourists as far as being one myself. Also, Annie, she truly owns the Superhost badge! She is SUPER responsive, very friendly, and kind!! She delivered toilet paper when we ran out and answered any and all questions I had for her very promptly! There are tons of places in Waikiki area to stay but I'd stay here again- quiet, clean, fantastic Superhost, parking is in the building but you just gotta pay for it (not a bad deal if you stay for a week, they have you pay up front and in/out privileges are given), and it's a great location and value for what you're getting! Thank you, Annie!!
