The apartment offered by Roy is wonderful:
- the location is great -- it's one block away from the world famous waikiki beach. All of waikiki is about 1.5 miles long, and all directly accessible from the apartment. There are many high end hotels near by, they wouldn't be there if it weren't a great spot! Diamond head is also within walking distance.
- The apartment is also wonderful -- it's clean, easily accessible via one flight of stairs from the parking lot (no need to wait for the elevator). We were a family of 5 people, and easily fit. The kitchen was spacious for all of us. The private parking spot made it a whole lot easier to deal with (waikiki is very crowded, i doubt we would have found any street parking in the neighborhood). Roy also provided a bunch of "beach stuff" - mats, boogie boards, chairs, towels, etc., make it super convenient.
- Roy as a host was really helpful: he sent us lots of photos so we can easily find the place. He was really accessible, any time I had questions, he responded immediately, and fully. He even provided a complementary pineapple, which we really enjoyed!
The only downside to the apartment is that it's on the first floor facing the street, and the neighborhood tends to be noisy until late in the evenings. Waikiki is a whole is very active late into the evening. There are many hotels surrounding the apartment building, with lots of people milling around. The apartment is roughly on par with any inner-city apartment.
We had a great time, and would welcome staying here again!
