What you see is what you get with the apartment - well designed, well presented and well kitted out. For us with small kids, it was a great option to be able to put them to bed in one bedroom and have the living space and other bedroom to ourselves.
Ash was a fantastic host - great communication and wonderful tips on places to visit, go out, eat etc - read her blog too - she clearly loves Hawaii and wants to make sure her visitors understand what there is to enjoy. Also she was extremely responsive in relation to a minor issue that cropped up in relation to one of the bathroom sinks, sorting it out straight away - really impressed.
In relation to location, I think it is probably a 6-8 minute walk to the beach. We have 5 & 2.5 yr old kids, with the 2.5 yr old the trip was longer - probably more like 12-15 mins.
But taking into account location and facilities the value was good, and with Ash as host it was tipped into a very good/excellent overall proposition as far as we were concerned.
Thanks Ash.
