Tiare is such a good host. Her communication is top-notch. Her greeting was thorough and concise. The apartment is comfortable, and well located at the south end of Waikiki for beach-goers and shoppers. There was only one hiccup with our stay ... the washing machine (rather gently described by Tiare as 'quirky') was temperamental, and required a detailed, non-standard sequence of button pushing to operate. Tiare was very, very responsive, helping us out twice on-site to make the machine work properly. Before we checked out Tiare advised a new washing machine would be installed soon, and this may have already happened.
We didn't use a car this time in Honolulu, and throughout the seven days we were there we found the public bus system very good. For walkers, the Ala Moana mall is only about a brisk 25 minute walk.
Weather tip .... we used the excellent clothes drying rack rather than the clothes dryer, and on one blustery day nearly lost it, together with its load of clothing, over the patio wall. Thereafter, the rack did its drying inside.
