After spending lots of money for very little at the major hotels on past visits we decided to give Air BnB a go in Waikiki. Orly's place exceeded expectations; very convenient location within meters of reasonably priced restaurants, less than 100 meters to lots of public transport and for the shoppers, Ross, Saks, Macy's and Nordstom Rack are all less than 300 meters. The beach is about two lock s away i.e. about a 7 to 10 minute stroll.
What surprised us was how big the to lanais (balconies) were, both with great views , the ocean in one direction and Ala Wai Canal, the golf course and the mountains beyond in the other. Certainly better views that the photos on the web site showed.
The apartment is on level 17 so you can imagine the outlook!
Check in was easy and Orly allowed us early access, great communication from the host, a well equipped kitchenette, full sized fridge and microwave and very clean.
We will definitely be back as this place offers value.
Did I mention the location is not affected by the current strike by hotel workers disturbing the peace big time for up to 14 hours a day?
