This apartment in the Island Colony complex is in a great position, between Ala Wai canal and Kuhio Avenue, not far at all from Waikiki beach (about 5 minutes walk). The apartment was as described by Olivier, so everything was fine on that front. My son enjoyed the pool in the complex, an unexpected boon. We also really appreciated the beach towels that were made available for our use. Olivier's communication was also excellent. I would say that the only downside is the $85 cleaning fee. I'm not sure why it has to be so hefty when the apartment is only small. It put a slight sour taste in my mouth, especially when, chatting with a local teacher on the bus to Kailua Beach, I discovered that her wage is $9 an hour. Further, I would expect well laundered towels and bath mats, and this wasn't the case. I don't doubt that they weren't clean, but they are old, and a little stained. For $85 over and above the cost of the apartment, I expect nice linen.
