We loved Julia's Airbnb. It's basically the size of a hotel room but there is a kitchenette. So we were able to get yogurt and breakfast items and keep everything refrigerated. We were always out and about for lunch and dinner so didn't need to cook but there is a 2-burner stovetop in case people want to cook. There is also a lanai that looks out at beautiful Diamond Head and if you look in the other direction, you can see the beach. The bathroom has been updated to a tile shower and the flooring throughout the place is very nice tile. Waikiki is a happening, alive place with so much to do. If you want quiet, stay in the country and not Waikiki. Unless you're staying on a really high floor somewhere, no matter where you are in Waikiki, you're going to hear people, traffic, music, etc. There is a front desk with the friendliest people to answer your questions. And Julia is always available - a great host!Laundry facilities are wonderful. You can download an app and pay for your laundry through the app so you don't have to get change, although there are change machines and the front desk will give you change as well as sell you detergent pods, if you want them. The pool is more shaded but the beach is right across the street. For the price, you cannot beat the location and value. Highly recommend staying here.
