We found this condo to be exactly as described. It was a great value for what we paid. The location is wonderful as it is only a short distance to the zoo, beach, and downtown. It has a balcony with a nice view of the mountains. Because it is a condo, it has a stove, microwave, oven, toaster oven, and refrigerator so we did not have to eat out all the time. There is a wonderful little coffee shop on the first floor that has delicious breakfast items. With the high cost of hotels in Waikiki and all the extra fees, it was nice not to have to pay for parking, resort fees, or extra person fees (our children are over the age of 12). There was a cooler in the unit we used every day to pack our lunches and drinks for our trips around the island and to the beach. There was also three sets of snorkeling gear in the closet that the kids loved. The host always responded to me within 24 hours to any of my questions. We never used the pool because we were always so busy or at the beach. I would recommend this condo if you are looking for something for a small family.
