Catherine's friend that greeted us was thorough at showing us around and answering all our questions including those about the local area. Both she and Catherine were very responsive to text messages we sent with concerns/questions/etc. We found the condo to be very clean in a complex that was clean and very quiet. It's location was just close enough to the center of activity on Ali'i Drive but also allowed easy routes away from the downtown traffic. The nearby Green Flash coffee shop (you can see it from the lanai) is a very friendly spot for those mornings when you want someone else to do the coffee and/or breakfast. The A/C unit and ceiling fans kept the place as cool as we desired. We found the kitchen to have the basics we needed to cook. As our daughter lives in the area we will look first for this property when we return for the next visit. General tip for first time visitors from the mainland - bring your Costco card - you will save $0.60/gal on gas over everywhere else.
