Since the first day we felt welcomed by Miou and the others living in the apartments. This is a really great place to stay in Hawaii, especially if you're going on vacation. There is equipment such as scuba diving gear, body boards, chairs etc. for when you're going to the beach, and also a grill outside. The beach is only a short 3 minute walk from the apartment, and you have everything you need in the nearby area (beaches, shopping, night life, grocery, catamaran/boat rides, hike). The balcony also had a view of Diamond head which was really pretty! Besides that, it was really nice to have a kitchen, and you got everything you need to cook. We would really recommend staying here if you're going to Hawaii!
