Our first impression was outstanding, being greeted in person by Lia and her husband, even at the late hour of our arrival. She came bearing homemade granola (delicious), and gave us a detailed tour of the unit, which was greatly appreciated. Lia continued to be very responsive to our inquiries, which is always a game-changer. The apartment, itself was very clean and neat (photos are accurate), and well-supplied with soap, towels, linens, even laundry detergent. It was clear that the bathroom had been renovated, with the rest of the place appearing a bit dated, but comfortable all the same. If your first priority is getting to the beach, this might not be your best choice, although the ocean is just a few blocks away. We have stayed in Waikiki many times, and consider this place a great value, especially with the benefit of the included covered parking. We would gladly stay again, if given the opportunity. Thank you, Lia and Tia!
