The apartment was in a great location a couple of blocks away from the beach. Buses stopped on the corner as well making it easy to get further afield. We also shopped at Safeway and did some cooking in the apartment. Safeway is about a half hour walk or 10 min bus ride away. Cooking facilities were very good.

We ate out as well at the Cheesburger place on the Main Street - reasonable prices and close to the apartment.

We were able to walk to do the Diamond Head hike. We did it in the afternoon as it was not as hot as the morning. We were out for about 3 hours walking to and from the location and hiking to the top. A great work out with good rewards.

The accomodation was fine. A little crowded for 5 of us but we managed ok. It certainly was good value for money when we calculated what it would have cost in one of the bigger resorts. We did spend one afternoon by the pool as well, not crowded and good respite from the crowds.

There was a buzzing noise coming from the laundry room that was by noticeable in the bedroom with the double bed. A set of earplugs was helpful to counter that problem.

Bathroom very clean, shower hot and strong, beds comfortable. Sofa bed was not as comfy as the beds - probably would be fine for smaller children.

Overall it was a good location for very busy Waikiki.
