The studio apt was as described in the listing. The apt was clean, nice view (see the mountain, Diamond Head, and parts of the beach), and good location. The building is a 10-15 min walk to the Waikiki beach, near plenty of bus stops, and walking distance to restaurants. The entrance to the building is a little shady especially in the evening/night, but there is 24 hr security at the lobby. Norman, the host, I met briefly a couple of times and he seemed friendly. Did not see him during check-in/out, but there were no problems with either of those processes. Overall, I had a good experience.
