Emy's place was great for our needs on our recent trip to Hawaii. Definitely more bare bones on the amenities as there's not a full kitchen and we had to pay extra for parking. But the place was very clean and comfortable as a base close to Waikiki. My husband and I were there for a family vacation but we wanted our own space. The location is top notch. 3 blocks from the main beach walk and close to many popular food spots. Even if you don't have a car, you can get around Waikiki pretty easily. Check in instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The only problem I had was Google Maps took me to the address on the main street at first and not the parking entrance. But we easily figured it out. I like that the entrance is not on a busy main street. No beach gear for use other than beach towels and a floaty. We never used the TV or hot plate but they were available.
