Best part of Waikiki ...close to everything with great amenities, but less congested and noisy. Great view of Diamond Head and zoo. This unit does not have a private lanai, but a huge spacious deck with great view on the 10th floor. Rob is a jovial property manager who sets you up with entry to unit, so communicate your arrival time and call him when you get there. He is available, helpful and friendly. A/C is a luxury in the islands. Put a bar stool draped with a towel between the bed and A/C unit at night and it won't blow directly on you. "Walls" beach is steps away. Huge breakfasts at Lulu's on the corner. My husband got his spam musabi at the ABC Store next door...every morning. Go up Kapahulu to Leonard's Bakery and have a malasada while hot. You won't be sorry. Rainbow Drive-In is same direction and been there forever with good local Loco Moco. Poke and authentic Hawaiian at Fort Ruger Market in Kaimuki. Happy Days for Dim Sum and local Chinese and Koa Pancake House also in Kaimuki. Farmer's Market up the street two blocks on Saturday. Skip the chains from back home and eat local for better experience. Pig & The Lady in Chinatown for some uptown fusion food. Discovered Arnold's this trip. Good, cheap drinks in a tiny, almost "Gilligan's Island" esque bar. Marukame for udon and tempura (walkable). Waikiki is very touristy and Oahu greatly developed, but if you look and ask...you can find lots of hidden gems. With great public transport and location, this listing is perfect base to explore and experience easy hiking, back door Oahu, theater (Manoa Valley Theater, Diamond Head and UH Manoa Kennedy Theater), cheap local eats, upscale eats and plenty of nightlife. It was personally exciting being present at the Molokai'i Hoe this year....like the SuperBowl of outrigger canoe paddling! So much to see and do.
