Chris' place was great! The location is an easy access to Waikiki and Ana Moana Mall Center - very walkable about 10-15 minute walk or 5 minute drive. Parking is all pay parking in Waikiki so this place is great for visiting Waikiki a bunch. The neighborhood was fairly safe as all neighborhoods can be in the city! The school next door had a park for our toddler to play at. The Honolulu coffee experience center was 2 block away with good coffee and breakfast items!
AC in every room was great, the pack n play was a life saver (also had a carseat and stroller and walker). Had many amenities for the beach (umbrellas, snorkel gear, beach chairs, sand toys for kiddos, and we did buy a small beach blanket that we had left there). I am sure we could have used the towels to bring to the beach but we bought our own due to the house towels being white.
The only setback for us was just an area to just sit and lay out in the sun but the beaches were so close anyways.
