This is a very nice place to stay, and I prefer the location to more central Waikiki where it is very hard to have a quiet night and no city lights shining directly into your room. There is a really nice food market called Eaton square, in addition to other restaurants. You don't mind a bit of walking, you can reach very lively parts of the city like One Ala Moana, Ala Moana Park, and even Kaka'ako; that's in addition to the obvious Waikiki beach, which a very short and pleasant walk. The view at dawn and sunrise is superb! Traveling from the continental US, it should be easy to wake up in the early hours and enjoy the view. Internet connection was great, and that was important as I had to do occasional work. Communication with the hosts is very efficient and pleasant, and they are very helpful and welcoming. Enjoy your stay here!
