Unlike many guests that visit Hawaii for vacation, our stay was to help a convalescing friend in the hospital. Lia's place was the perfect "balm" for some challenging days we experienced. What we loved about staying at Lia's started with our first communication which was always timely and thorough. Keeping in constant contact helped with some of our changing plans and other issues we needed to contact Lia about.
The apartment is exactly as described but my words to Lia when we first met up was - this is even better than we expected.
If it's the Waikiki experience you want - you will get it!!
The apt. is a short walk to the beach, to shops galore and more eateries than you know how to choose from.
Having the ability to walk everywhere was a huge bonus for us - as it was a great way to start our day and a relaxing way to end our long stays at the hospital.
The apt. was immaculate, super clean and very stylish with amazing views and fabulous cross breezes. There is a great place "Heavenly" right downstairs that serves up healthy foods - we have both delicious breakfasts and dinners there.
In the apt. you will find everything you could need plus very nice additional touches from Lia which was a pleasant surprise - her home made granola was yummy and having coffee already there along with other staples was great too.
We felt really at home at Lia's and having your own parking spot is completely priceless especially in that very hectic part of town.
Keep in mind that Waikiki is not a tranquil setting. You will be in the hub of the action! If you like energy and excitement around you then Lia's place fits the bill.
Again, Lia's attention to detail and the comfort of your stay is to be commended (and Steve too!) and that combined with the location made it a great price to value location for us.
