Communication with our host was excellent. We didn't need to communicate during our stay but all the checking in details were very easy & seamless. The apartment was spotlessly clean & exactly as the photos depicted. It had obviously been renovated & the decor was very modern & fresh. We did see some other apartments in the same building & they were very dated & old. The location was great as it was off the main drag of Waikiki & the walk wasn't too far to the beach or the shops & restaurants. There was a convenience store downstairs which came in handy for purchasing drinks & snacks & there was also a great coffee shop which in my opinion sold the best coffee on the island. Thank you for a wonderful holiday in Hawaii.
