Brian’s place is a perfect location for everything you would want to do in Honolulu. It was my first time in Hawaii and I had a phenomenal time, a lot attributed to Brian’s place and the location. I was traveling with one other friend and the unit was spacious and clean. The building is located in a prime spot for walking to the beach or taking the public bus around the city or to Diamond Head. There are also numerous shops, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby that came in handy when we forgot to bring something. Highly, suggest walking to Waikiki beach from the “back”/beachfront access of the building. There is a 90% of the way paved walkway that you can walk along the ocean and hit other bars/restaurants along the way. The trip takes about 15 minutes but feels much quicker since it’s a wonderful view with a lot to see. You can also walk through the city to the beach if you wanted to hit more shops along the way. All around great experience and great place.
