Kevin and Fukeda were wonderful, communicative and helpful hosts and it's a lovely condo. Kapahulu is the slightly quieter and kind of retro end of town (which we loved) near the zoo and botanical gardens with street trees and a stone's throw to the beach. Although it doesn't have its own private balcony, the condo is high up and at the end of a breezeway so no-one really passes by and you can just open the front door and there's a sneak preview of the beach and beautiful ocean. The pool is just below, though we didn't ever see anyone using it... not that there is anything wrong with it but because: Beautiful beach, 100m! There's aircon in the condo if needed but with a whole wall of windows on the other side looking inland to the mountains, we preferred to have these open and a lovely breeze through. There's a bit of traffic noise (nothing compared to the busier parts of downtown) and the occasional rubbish truck in the side street, but being high up in the back part of the building we didn't get too much street or bar noise, even sleeping with the windows wide open. The condo is very well stocked with everything we needed and more (I didn't even notice the super interesting bookshelf titles until we were packing to leave!) including plenty of kitchen and bathroom things, snorkel gear, body board, extra bedding, first aid kit... we didn't want for anything. I'd definitely stay here again in Waikiki and recommend to anyone visiting. Mahalo!
