The views from the lanai were wonderful. You looked right at the beach and Diamond Head. We were able to cook in the kitchen, which was nice. We cooked breakfast almost every morning and had a few dinners two. The space is quite cozy, so really best for a party of 2 at the max. While the building is older, you can tell they try and maintain the property well. The furniture in the room is fairly worn and dinged up, however that’s probably due to the amount of people staying in the unit - the views and location are great. It is on a busier street, however you’re on the 9th floor, which minimizes the noise. Unfortunately there were no screens on the doors leading out to the lanai, so you couldn’t sleep with the doors open. Additionally, the hot water in the bathroom sink didn’t work, however the kitchen sink worked fine.
Near by there’s local bike rentals, as well as many places to eat and walk / run. Beach gear was provided, which was nice so you didn’t have to pay for it at the beach.
