This place was clean and comfortable. It is also in the heart of Waikiki - a lot of places to eat and shop close by and the beach is literally a minute walk away; so if you’re just planning on staying around the area then a rent a car is not necessary. However, If you plan on exploring the rest of the island and have a car - parking at this location can be an issue. You would have to pay $25/day for hotel parking or $1.50/hour at the zoo lot right across from the hotel OR free street parking about 1-2 blocks away (this is limited but my fiancé and I were always lucky to find a spot every time we parked in the late afternoon). Kitchen had majority of the things you may need to make simple meals (plates, bowls, mugs, knives, utensils, coffee maker, small portable electric skillet, microwave, fridge and a beverage cooler!). No spices/seasoning available though, but as a solution we got salt and pepper packets from the ABC store just outside of the hotel :) The neighborhood seems safe....TONS of tourists and street activity (but that is to be expected of any place in Waikiki). The host was also very responsive. We needed an iron and ironing board one day, called the host and within minutes had them delivered to our room. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay here!!
