The apartment feels like my Aunt's apartment in Connecticut. Superb views both day and night, no doubt about it.
The hotel is smack in the centre of Waikiki and all the major shopping areas are just around the corner.
Host Eriko will drop in a call if she is unable to meet you on the day you are leaving Hawaii. Very warm and lovely lady!

Pros:
1. Awesome views
2. There is coin laundry on the 6th floor which was so convenient.
3. Shopping all around
4. Starbucks/MacD just at the junction
5. The security guards at the building were very friendly and very ready to help you when needed.
6. Huge fridge. Good for all my chocolates and cooking ingredients. :P

Cons:
1. Smell of the trash bin. Although the pest inspectors did their routine checks during my stay there, and the smell wasn't much that it would bother me, but I think the situation could be improved by installing some freshener system to mask the smell.
2. The airconditioning system is at the bottom rather than top of the room. Therefore, it would take longer to cool the room during a hot day. However, the winds in the evenings and nights are much cooler and comfortable.
