Close to the edge of Waikiki and the start of the beach it is a walk to the center of Waikiki but having a car made everything easy and the use of the uber app helped a lot. The house was nice just like the pictures with plenty of space. We never got hot or too cold. You are really close to the neighbors so while the page alerts you they can hear you, you can hear them as well. Its a lovely place and a great spot for us first timers. We had some delayed communication but it didn't stop us or slow us down and we had the info we needed to have a great time. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to be close to Waikiki as it took about 40 min to get to say the North shore. Plenty of food options and shopping and the house was clean with enough supplies to get us almost through the whole trip with 6 people. Thanks to the family for hosting it was an overall good experience!
