The host: Olivier is absolutely incredible. I landed in Oahu close to midnight and he was still responsive throughout my whole check in process. When I arrived to his apartment complex, he was already waiting for me in the lobby. Check in was fast and seamless! He even left cold water and juice in the fridge and chocolates on the coffee table! After my checkout, he watched my bags for another 5 hrs while I did some more site seeing. Thank you Olivier!
The apartment: everything was as advertised and more. The place was clean, modern, and stocked with plenty of kitchen utensils/gadgets. There were also fresh towels AND beach/pool towels ready for me to use. It was also equipped with WiFi and a TV.
The location: perfect and centrally located in Waikiki. Everything is honestly within a 10 minute walk and for anything further, there is a bus stop around the corner that multiple bus routes stop at (very convenient as I opted to not rent a car). If you have a car, there is a parking lot in the building, though not sure on pricing. I took an uber to Diamond Head (~$12) and decided to walk back. It was not bad at all as there were sidewalks the whole way and took about 40 min.
I would definitely recommend staying here and next time I’m back in the area I’ll be sure to come back!
