I absolutely loved this place! I was a Solo traveler so the studio was perfect for me but it's also perfect for a couple. you can easily sleep three people there if you had too. I would say it's the perfect place in Waikiki to stay. Super close to the bus stop! It's down the street and on the corner.. probably like a 3-minute walk. You can walk to the drugstore it's about 7 minutes away. However, if you can't wait that long there is convenience store right in the building on the 6th floor, also a gym, laundry room, pool and sauna. the amount of things they offer in the building is kind of overwhelming. In all honesty you really don't have to leave the building unless you want to. Oh my birthday I literally just spent a couple hours in morning drinking by the pool. Yes they sell alcohol in the building so I didn't have to go out and get a drink LOL. However you're in Hawaii so you're going to definitely go out. When you go out though, they have these amazing restaurants that are just walking distance from this place. whether it's the mall or the beach you don't really have to catch the bus to get there. Now for some beaches you will definitely need to catch a bus or drive but Waikiki Beach is walking distance. I'm telling you this place is the perfect place to stay in Waikiki just super convenient for me (a traveler who didn't have a car). I spent about most my trip taking the transit system. now the transit system did have some delays but it ran very frequently and there were a lot of different buses that will take you to the same location. I did rent car for a day just so I can ride around the island which I totally suggest. You'll get to ride around the island and see the North shore which is amazing. if possible try to return that car at the end of the night (if you don't want to pay that $30 fee to park it in the garage). it's quite possible to find Street parking but it might be hard. As for the owners of the Airbnb? What amazing hosts! They made me feel comfortable and welcome. A very pleasant family. I had some problems with the apartment due the past guest who stayed there before me. The previous guests showed no respect for their property which was upsetting. Even though it wasn't their fault they handled these issues very quickly. They really made my stay so wonderful. If I ever go back to Oahu I really hope they would let me rent their space again.
