We had a great time at Yoshihiro's place. It is in a fantastic location for exploring Honolulu: A short walk to the beach; grocery stores, restaurants, and bars very close by. Buses and trolleys run frequently and make sightseeing easy. The pool in the complex is ok. We only used it early in the morning and had our breakfast there to start the day. The apartment is on the 13th floor, which means you might have to wait for the elevator occasionally. I was extremely impressed with the check-in instructions Yoshihiro provided. Very straight forward with pictures. Couldn't have been easier. His apartment is on the smaller side, but provides mostly everything you could need (bring your own beach towels though). The absolute highlight is the huge window providing an AMAZING view. We watched the sun come up every morning due to our jet lag :) Over all, I would recommend staying at Yoshihiro's place.
