Myself and my sister rented two units at the Banyan from Chris and Jessica. I took the one on the lower floor, and my sister and her family took the one on the upper floor. The view from the lanai was amazing and the units were extremely clean. I run a Japanese household so I was so greatful that I didn't have to cringe when I walked into the apartment with no shoes.
Kitchen was fully stocked with everything, and even some juice and water for the kids, wine for the adults. They had two rolls of quarters for us to use (just make sure to replenish upon leaving) and it was nice because the laundry room was right across the hallway from us. It was very cold one night, and I let Jessica know the next morning and she made sure we had blankets the next morning!
The location was perfect- one block from kapiolani park where I went on my run every morning up to diamond head, and also close enough to various shops and waikiki beach. cabs were usually ready out front, and parking was never an issue.
We will definitely be staying with Chris and Jessica again!
