This unit was situated close enough to Waikiki beaches that you could walk or bus to the beach everyday. The walk to the main shopping strip is an easy stroll pass the wonderful shops that you can wander in and out if. You are handy to the bus stops when you want to venture further away and an easy stroll to the bigger hotels for pick up when you go on some of the tours on offer in Hawaii. Sharon is an excellent host who left tips about where to eat, places if interest and a lovely box of chocolates on arrival. The hotel has a huge pool area and the washing machines and dryers were only $6:00 USD fir both to use so you can pack very lightly. I will be definitely contacting Sharon again to book for my next trip to Hawaii. Value for money: EXCELLENT
