Big thank you to Amy for letting us stay at her bnb for our first time in Hawaii! The place matched the picture descriptions and was clean and tidy when we arrived. Amy was super helpful and allowed us an early check-in too.
Although the accommodation is a little further from the main strip of Waikiki than we realized, it is still only a 10-15 minute walk so it is not too bad. We had read past reviews that at times it can be a little noisy as the apartment is right in between two hostels, but we never experienced this and it was not an issue for us at all.
In terms of the actual place, Amy was such a thoughtful host and provided things for the beach such as towels, chairs, umbrellas, sunscreen, etc. There were such thoughtful additions that really helped us on our trip - she even provided laundry detergent for the washing machine.
The free parking on a first come first served basis was also an added benefit.
Thank you so much, Amy!
