My stay at Ri's place was amazing!! The location is more than perfect, in 5 minutes you are on the beach and it felt safe at night. It also helped that there is a security office at the ground level of the building where all guests have to check in when arrive.
The apartment is small, but it was very clean, with enough towels, toiletries and toilet paper. If you are carrying a lot of luggage with you it might be a little challenging to arrange and open them in the room, but I had just a carry-on with me so I had enough space. There's also a luggage storage at the ground floor (I believe it was 10$/bag/day), so it's very convenient if you are flying out of the island later in the day.
Ri was a phenomenal host and responded to my messages within minutes, helping me with all the info that I needed!
I will definitely stay here again if I am coming back to Honolulu! Thank you for your hospitality Ri!
