This was a great location; across from the zoo and close to Waikiki Beach. The unit is perfect for 2 people; there was a nice pantry/storage cabinet with 4 wide and deep shelves to store our stuff, and we shoved our suitcases under the bed to get them out of the way. The unit was clean and Travis responded immediately to help us with a few issues. There was a little kitchenette area with microwave (no stove), and lots of helpful amenities; plenty of bath towels plus several beach towels, 2 really nice beach chairs, and a beach umbrella.
I will say, the photos clearly show a balcony with the unit. There is a balcony, but it’s not very deep…the chairs can only go sideways. However; there’s an amazing lanai/balcony on the 10th floor with chairs and tables for guests; and every morning we had our coffee there and watched the sun come up over diamondhead. Some nights we took dinner or wine up there and watched as the sunset fell upon the water. It really was an exceptional perk. We also loved that the view from the actual balcony in our room looked out into a natural setting, and not at the side of another apartment building.
Do be aware…and this is not a criticism, just a suggestion that we learned the hard way, parking is tricky if you have a rental car. Travis gave very thorough and helpful suggestions about where/how to park. We ended up getting parking through a nearby hotel for $27 a day and that actually worked out pretty well.
We loved our stay at Travis’ place and hope to stay again sometime
