LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! We have been to Waikiki many times and this apartment is situated in the perfect spot to do anything and everything on foot. You even have a peekaboo view of the ocean from the lanai. One of the mornings we woke up and saw a rainbow coming out of the ocean it was beautiful.
Shore Birds is right downstairs and is a great, affordable place for brunch 7 days a week. We also had dinner there one night and were very happy with it. The ABC on the corner is convenient but there are many larger ABC stores that have food and also Superettes within a couple of blocks so if you are buying supplies to cook you won’t have to venture far.
The apartment was simple, clean and met our needs. It was not luxurious but the location made up for that. So did the price! I appreciate a clean place to stay and everything was spotless when we arrived. The amount of towels was made clear and the dishes were adequate to make small meals. It is a 2 top burner and a mini fridge so we weren’t making huge dinners but in the end there was so many affordable options for take out we didn’t need to cook much.
The bed was surprisingly comfy. Also the little stool that converts into a cot was very comfortable.
There wasn’t a lot of room to store our luggage but what we did is take advantage of the dresser and the “armoir” and move the chairs to put our bags. I really appreciated the wall cabinet storage in the bathroom that was a huge help.
The AC was divine. Use the remote not the buttons on the AC to customize your settings. Energy saver works great. So many places in Hawaii are stuffy and don’t have good AC but this place was perfect. The door to the lanai will offer nice breezes as well because you are on the upper floor.
Lobby and elevator were easy to use and check in and check out was very clear. The realty company held our luggage because we had a late flight the last day which was a huge bonus for us.
Lastly this building was nice and quiet. I never knew I was in the middle of a big bustling city. The small street the building is on sheltered us from the busier traffic and noise. I stayed with my husband and my toddler and this apartment was safe and affordable and made a great experience for my birthday trip.
