Location was key - eateries (Ono Seafood, Da Ono, Waiola Shave Ice, Leonard’s, etc.), markets (Safeway, Foodland). Convenience - having an off-street parking space is a huge plus in Honolulu; pulling right up to your rental and walking right in was great.
Nya and Clint, Nya’s on-site manager, were both very responsive and took care of our very minor problems very quickly - a broken trash can was replaced in a few hours as was a fallen louver window pane.
Our stay was in February so I cannot attest to how efficient the fans and AC in the bedroom would be in the summer, but for me, I did run the air a few times during the day. We never needed it when we went to bed.
This is a “typical” Hawaii apartment/cottage so don’t expect Waikiki hotel accommodations, but it’s very comfortable and convenient and we would definitely stay here again. Mahalo Nya and Clint!
