Maria’s place had a great view of Waikiki and was in a central location, close to good food, shopping, and general entertainment. The apartment has AC so it was always pleasant to sleep in (though there were some noises from floors above that we could hear slightly). The place was clean and the check in and check out process was easy. The parking was $35 a day in the building’s garage, which was a bit pricier than I had I anticipated, since street parking on Ala Wai was very difficult to secure and was not a reliable option. The bathroom is pretty small and didn’t have a bathmat, so I slipped and hit the towel bar. Overall the stay was good. Go to Kona Coffee Purveyors for the best coffee and pastries.
