We loved the location of Matt's apartment! It was farther south, in a quieter area of Waikiki which we preferred. Right across from the zoo and from a nice stretch of the beach, it was also a stone's throw away from Diamond Head. The apartment was a bit older, but was clean and well stocked with beach equipment (towels, chairs, boogie boards and snorkel equipment). Mattress topper was super soft and cozy, and the AC did a good job at keeping us cool. Worked well for us!
