This place is precisely as advertised. The location, IMO, is ideal in that it's in the popular Waikiki district yet just far enough away from the busiest tourist areas to be able to relax and enjoy your stay. The place has an AMAZING view and is within a reasonable walking distance (half hour max) from just about anywhere in Waikiki. Keep in mind that most of the bigger tourist attractions/excursions located outside of Waikiki are willing to pick you up from there for free (or for a small fee).
Larry provides some warm touches such as portable beach chairs (under the bed) as well as snorkel gear (in the closet) that come in handy. The large flat-screen TV was a welcome feature during the MLB playoffs. The best feature of all, I must say, is the 2-in-1 washer/dryer combo in the apartment. It can only handle a small load at a time but that should be all you really need (we used it mostly to launder our beachwear).
There are a few negatives that I would be remiss not to mention. First of all the place is TINY... you get a bed, a kitchenette, a mini-fridge/night-stand (lol), a small closet with a dresser, and a bathroom in about 200 sq. ft. of living space. To be fair, it's quite adequate for two people on a short stay... especially if you don't plan to cook much during your visit. The building is very outdated... although all of Hawaii seems to be stuck in the 70's - 80's (HGTV, where you at?!). The bathtub floor creaks when you stand on it!... like, enough to make you wonder if you're gonna end up in the apartment downstairs before you're done rinsing off. Thankfully, my wife and I didn't go through the bathtub floor, but it's something that other guests have mentioned and should really be addressed. Lastly, I must say the bed itself is rickety and not built for bedroom gymnastics ;-).
In summary, I would say that we're glad we chose this place. We feel like we got a great bang-for-buck value out of Larry's apartment in the sky. If you're a young couple that plans to enjoy Oahu during the day and only use the apartment for the three S's, then the positives far outweigh the negatives. The place is cozy and clean with plenty of toiletries readily available. But if you're in search of a spacious and super luxurious Waikiki loft with a breezy lanai (balcony) then this might not be the place for you.
I hope this review helps and I'm here in case you have any other questions or concerns.

PS: Although there's only one ice machine in the building (found on the lower lobby), there's also a gym and hot tub in the building if you're so inclined.
