Great location. It’s a Big plus that the beach is really just a few minutes of walking distance. This is also near the ABC stores, International market, church, bus stops, etc. We didn’t bother renting a car on our 1st day because it was spent walking around waikiki. 2nd day, we were able to go to Diamond head to hike. We got there by public transportation by getting the whole day bus pass ($5.50). It was on the 3rd day that we decided to get the car rental to go to farther places ( North shore, PCC, etc).
