I stayed here so I could walk to my conference at the convention center while my family could walk to the beach, while still making it cheap enough for a business expense. It's not in the best part of Honolulu but it is convenient and you don't have to navigate crowds to find your home-sweet-home away from home. I also forgot my bathing suit and could walk to the mall to get another! Walk to beach, and to Hilton Hawaiian Village for pool and drinks (get the Mango Margarita at the beachside/poolside bar). The apartment is barebones, but clean and feels safe. No pool, nothing fancy, but suited my purposes. Matt really needs a new sofa bed mattress though.
