TLDR: Would return; Would recommend. Things to note, but not deal breakers.
The unit is centrally located in Waikiki, had great views from the near top 20th floor and west facing towards the beach, and was stocked with beach items (beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, and foam noodle). It is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shopping, with parking included, and the host was responsive and accommodating. Another bonus was we saw some of the Hilton’s Friday night firework show from the lanai, although some of the taller buildings blocked part of the view.
Fyi for anyone who is a light sleeper or has sensitivity towards sounds/ smells, sounds of the night life or evenings are able to travel between buildings, more noticeable closer towards the weekend events, and we noticed from time to time the smell of cigarettes from someone smoking nearby.
Thank you again for hosting us, Lia!
