You can expect great views, the pleasure of an outdoor patio with a kitchen, and a cordial and attentive host. As mentioned in previous reviews, you can hear the elevator motor BUT it's barely noticeable. While warned about it not once, during our seven day stay, did the garbage trucks in the morning wake any one up. You will be within walking distance of Waikiki Beach, lot's of food, lot's of shopping, aquarium, and the zoo. There were five in our party and we had plenty of space. I don't think any of us have any real complaints about Alan's place.
