What a fantastic place! A very short walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants just outside the door, and strolling distance to everything!

Breakfast on the surf -facing lanai was shaded and comfortable, with sight lines to multiple surf breaks. Afternoons were shaded on the other lanai, and the pull-out foot stools turned the chairs into comfortable loungers so we could elevate our feet after too much walking.
Inside, the fan and AC could be used if the cross-breeze wasn't enough, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great kitchen too, we had everything we needed to make cooked breakfasts and smoothies with the fresh pineapple picked up at a farmer's market.

The centralized location was also amazing for transport: the coach to the Polynesian Cultural Centre picked up right across the street, the Ohana Surf Project bus picked up two blocks away, TheBus stop to Ala Moana was one block away, and there were several Hui cars available for short term use - everything so convenient that we didn't need a car!

We used the umbrella and chairs to make our beach visits comfortable (be prepared for very little shade on Waikiki, and lots of hotel and rental umbrellas already filling prime spots), and the pool was great for some non-salty swimming.

Be prepared for city sounds, traffic and happy people can be heard into the wee hours. We didn't need earplugs but if you have difficulty tuning out background noise, you'll probably want to pack these.

10/10 would recommend Lia's place, and will happily stay here if we return to Waikiki!
