We are second time returners.
Again we had a great stay in the apartment. Even though we were here two years ago the apartment is still in great condition generally. The odd issue crops up no matter where you stay and Kris is very proactive in sorting any issues out for you, he is very responsive and generally tried to ensure you have a great vacation. The apartment is close to waikiki 1 block walk. The restaurants are only three blocks walk away including Cheesecake factory, Lulus, Tikis.
We had 2 adults and 2 children in the apartment for 12 nights and it was plenty big enough. We cooked in most nights and the kitchen is sufficient to cook most things and well equipped. We used the free parking for one night and hired a car & picked it up the night before.
The pool area is great for kids and we alternated to pool and beach.
There is a safeway grocery store with local pricing $9 uber away on the same street as the zoo - search safeway google maps. The pantry is 3 blocks away and more expensive waikiki pricing. The checkin process is easy with combo lock on the door.
All in all a great vacation in a great apartment.
