Eric & Purnima have a nice apartment. This was my first trip to Hawaii. It has a great view of the city, from the 17th floor. We were able to see the Friday night fireworks from the balcony! Check in and out was extremely easy and did not take much time. The apartment has a great floor plan; efficient for heating up food, making coffee, and keeping grocery items cold. There was plenty of seating and space for two of us to use our computers. There are great restaurants and convenience stores nearby within walking distance. We chose to use The Bus system rather than rent a car. It was a great way to see the city and go to the beaches. The bus stop is close to the Royal Garden. We traveled extensively around the island by bus. The views are spectacular on the route to the North Shore, as well as to Lanikai Beach and Diamond Head. We appreciated having access to the laundry room when traveling; a great perk. On our next trip we would like to stay in Eric & Purnima's apartment again. We will do more exploring in Hawaii. This Air bnb apartment contributed to our having a memorable experience in Waikiki.
