The studio was as pictured. It has been renovated and is located in an older building. It was easy to find and the location was great! It was clean and had everything we needed. We ended up finding street parking and saved quite a bit on parking. Thankfully the studio is walking distance to the beach, restaurants and stores in Waikiki. Our key cards didn't always work in the elevators. Thankfully others in the building were very nice and would use their cards to help us get to our floor. They always worked to get into the room though.
The co-host Brandi provided great check in/out instructions. Would have been nice if we didn't have to take our own trash out.
The bathroom is a bit small, the shower head is not very sturdy and the water is slow to drain in the shower, but everything works fine and I like the modern look. I also appreciated the full size hair dryer.
The kitchenette was nice, but I didn't really use it much. I mostly used the refrigerator. A nice touch would be to provide coffee. I did appreciate the macadamia nut snack.
The bed was a little too firm for my preference, but some people like it that way. I also scraped my leg with the corner of the bed frame a couple of times, so just be careful if you're the one sleeping on the window side. The white curtains help the space feel more open, but it would have been nice to have blackout shades because it gets bright pretty early and I like sleeping in on vacation. Loved the windows and the view.
My biggest complaint was the smell. It smelled very fishy the entire time we were there. It's due to the AC bringing in the air from outside which is right by the water. We bought a bunch of dryer sheets and hooked them on to the vent slits of the AC and it helped a lot. We had to replace them daily.
