I just returned home from my stay at Brenda's place in Waikiki. I really liked the location, and the studio was very comfortable.The bed was huge and super comfy. Just a short walk down Kuhio is a grocery store where i was able to buy drinks and snacks to have on hand in the studio. It was an easy walk to the zoo, and Diamond Head. there's a great little mexican restaurant around the corner on Koa, called La Cucaracha. I would definately stay there again. If you're not used to homeless people, you may not like the location, as it's at the end of town where they seem to congregate.I was travelling alone, and was never bothered.
