This was our first experience with Airbnb, and I'm glad to say it was a success. A lot of this has to do with simplicity and straightforward nature of Nobu and his studio at the Waikiki Grand. The studio was clean, and had all of the necessary amenities. The location was key, as it is located close to free parking (if you want to rent a car) and Waikiki beach. You will have to walk a bit if you want to go to the western side of Waikiki but we found ourselves gravitating towards the restaurants lining Kapahulu Ave. Nobu was very accommodating. He was quick to answer any question and give suggestions. He is as involved as you need him to be. Everything was straight forward and it resulted in a good experience. If you are visiting Waikiki and intend on renting a car and exploring the whole island, this would be a very good and affordable option.
