The location of the condo is the best. It's conveniently located near EVERYTHING. You can experience what Waikiki gets to offer in walkable distance. We visited around the 4th of July, it's very festive to walk around. We saw fireworks in a very close distance by the beach. Also, there is a great view to sit by the balcony of the condo. We rented a car as well, so we could drive to some tourist places like the Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and Polynesian Cultural Center, etc. There are valet and self parking garages available for a daily rate, but we opted to park right behind the Ilikai building public 24-hours parking. It worked out perfectly as we only needed to pay for the hours parked, not by day. The check-in process was a breeze. It was easy to connect with the host before the trip and the local contact during our stay for questions.
