The room was as described in the listing and the pictures! We were literally in the heart of the Waikiki life, steps away from the main strip. The room has a gorgeous view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, the canal, and even Waikiki beach if you turn your head a bit. We stayed here from December 31-Jan 7 and had a wonderful experience, and even enjoyed the nearly 180 degree fireworks displays for New Years 2016. Norman even makes a small mini-bar available in the provided refrigerator with juice, water, and local beers. Traffic is a headache with lots of one-way roads, so if you are not used to this kind of experience and you choose to rent or drive, be prepared. Waze is a great app and helps to plan around the significant traffic in the area. (NOTE: none of that is due to Norman or this condo, just an FYI). I can, without reservation, recommend Norman's Waikiki Basecamp to Sun % Surf.
