This was a great spot. Check in was easy because you don't really need to check in. Just have communication with the owners about your arrival. Also, it was walking distance from the beach which literally only takes 2 minutes. You are in the action of where everything is at at in Waikiki. I would stay here again. There is a great ice cream spot down stairs. You get a whole kitchen so you can do grocery shopping to save money on food and you have your own balcony which you can see the city. This location was in the middle so any "touristy" spot that we had to do was only like 30 minutes max away.
