Location cannot be any better. Right in the middle of all to-do things on Waikiki area. 5 minutes (at most) walk from the beach. Having a kitchen is very convenient. Some previous visitors might have issue with noisy but in my opinion the area is very quiet. The building is in the middle of a small road with very little traffic. There are two main route to the left and right. I did hear cars/bikes noise from the main route. However, those are cars with modified exhaust and Harley Davidson kind of bikes. Those can be heard from couple blocks away. Besides those, I hardly heard any road noise during my stay. If you are a car guy like me, ask John to show you his car. I wish he will rent that machine out!
