Style, comfort and location.
We thoroughly enjoyed a 7-night stay at Shiori's lovely, modern apartment. There are two very comfortable beds, nice views of the water between buildings and a great kitchenette with everything you need. We brought our own coffee so we used a filter for some other device to strain our coffee right into the cup and her electric kettle for hot water -- otherwise, she provides Nespresso cups. Waikiki is 2 blocks away with all that offers -- we walked the length to swim and eat out a few times-- and we found other great shops, restaurants, and food trucks very close by, including the famous Leonard's, Snorkel Bob's, and Mami's empanada food truck. Shiori was very responsive whenever we had a question. One night we received a note under the door about pest spraying the next day. I emailed Shiori and she immediately canceled it and let me know. We closed the shades to keep it cool a few times, and loved how it's still very light in the apartment with total privacy. There's a key in the apt. for accessing the pool/Jacuzzi /tennis floor and a parking pass for parking in the garage below -- a big perk. We are already recommending this place to friends.
