Would not search any further - Ratana’s place is perfect for both short and long term stays. We were here for 4 weeks and the apartment was absolutely perfect for an extended stay. The kitchen was fully supplied so we were able to cook most days. There are ACs in the living room and bedroom and both work perfectly. I had to be on zoom for at least 6 hours each day and the internet speed was perfect. Everything was so clean and there is in apt washer and dryer we used every week. She also has beach chairs, towels, cooler etc for all your beach needs. Also there is a parking spot that comes with the apt which was essential for us for the month. Would absolutely stay here again, Ratana is an incredible host who was always super responsive and attentive. She remembered that it was our honeymoon and brought us a bottle of champagne and flowers. She also drove us to the airport the day we left. These little touches are so meaningful and really speak to the kind of host she is. 5/5 for everything across the board.
The neighborhood is very safe. The building is quiet and you are within 10-15 minutes walking distance of Waikiki beach and downtown Waikiki. Ubers are east to come by too.
