This is a very very close to beach and downtown Waikiki place. It's a bit small to stay whole day in the studio, but extremely convenient to go to beach and enjoy the time (literally 3 min) for those who want to spend time on the beach and in lively downtown Waikiki. Brenda was helpful to allow us a bit earlier check in too (she informed us the house is ready from 2:30, and we checked in at 3:30, rather than the normal 4pm). Thank you very much, Brenda.
