First, I want to say that Norman was a wonderful host/rep, and did all he could to make our stay pleasant, including offering his own place for us to hunker down at during an ugly, rainy day. He could not have been more attentive or courteous. Great guy.
That being said, the unit is essentially a smallish hotel room with a wee kitchenette attached, and the area is rather pedestrian. Admittedly, Wakiki is relatively expensive. And there is a respectable view of the canal, and Diamondhead off in the distance.
But at the conclusion of our vaca we ended up in a one-bedroom condo in Honolulu proper with spectacular views, situated only two blocks from the 'Iolani Palace/state capitol and uber-hip Chinatown...and for the same $. Just saying.
