If you want to be right in the middle of all the action while you're in Honolulu, this is the place to stay. Shopping, restaurants, the beach -- it's all right there. You don't need to rent a car unless you want to explore other parts of the island. The condo unit itself is very nice. It was very clean. The lanai has a very nice city view, especially at night. You can also see the mountains and ocean. As far as our hosts, I dealt with Lia and our communication was very good. If you enjoy the excitement of big city life, look no further!
