Great place over in Waikiki, especially for the price. You are indeed literally steps away. The space has everything you need for a quick getaway. I was pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the bathroom for an apartment of that size. A few things to note:

A.) Parking is indeed $25/a day... IF you can keep your spot. There is no guaranteed re-entry, so if you leave and the lot is full when you come back you are out of luck. My advice would be to only buy a 24-hour pass once you are settled in for the day/night and purchase a few hours worth if you are going to be doing in-and-out. Yes, this is more expensive, but you won't be stuck with a $25 daily pass you can't use if the lot fills up while you're out.
B.) The ocean view is from the exterior hallway of the 9th floor, not the room itself. This isn't really a problem, just pointing it out to avoid confusion.

All-in-all, I recommend the place; Brenda is an excellent host.
