my first time in Hawai'ishaves airbnb was perfect for us...a bit of a walk to stores.. there was a convenience store nearby...but quite pricey..but it was convenient. I went ti Hawai'i for the Hinolulu marathon! .. it is walking distance from the finish line! perfect for me.. distance the shuttle the start.
location was private and away from crowds of Waikiki Beach and a beatiful area for view of sunset! swimming accessability... it great for me
