I really enjoyed this apartment. It was airy and light and modern. The listing, location, surround restaurants and shops are really where I wanted to be. It's in the heart of Waikiki, and a short walk to the beach. Apt is exactly as it looks and is described. It is very clean with great hardwood floors throughout and a spacious balcony. Lots of storage for clothing. Also, has a nice big shower. Probably only unit I've been in with a big refrigerator, nice size sink, four burner electric stove, microwave, and an oven. Unit has some beach going items in the closet like bamboo mats. Wifi was great.

Great communication - met the host's representative in the lobby. Note that if you get the parking with the apartment, the spot is on the basement level near the elevetor - the unit numbers are marked on each spot. But you can't go up the elevator without the remote fob so initially you'll need to go around to the front. Also there is a convenient entrance to the garage on Kuhio

I normally stay somewhere in Waikiki once or twice a year. Know that the neighborhood is pretty lively. The unit overlooks a quieter street. Only on Saturday night was it louder than expected.

The new international market is pretty upscale and a block away. I enjoyed shopping there and getting coffee and B. Patisserie pastries at Kona Coffee Purveyors (which is actually on the outside of the market on Kuhio near Saks Fifh Avenue). Also near Marukame Udon for a reasonably priced meal - I had noodles for breakfast on my last day.
