It doesn't get much better than this! If you are looking for an adorably decorated and fully-furnished space in a top-notch location, with every amenity you could think of and more -- this is the place you want!!
Lexi was AMAZING! Everything you could want in a host -- friendly, respectful, honest, and quick to respond to any messages or questions (almost always within the hour). We also asked her for an additional small favor on our last day, and she was very gracious to help us out with what we needed.
The condo is absolutely adorable and beautifully decorated <3 Photos on the listing matched 100%. We LOVED being able to slide the glass wall open in the mornings and at night time to feel the sea breeze! I also loved that the windows could be opened (shutter-style) for even more fresh air.
An elevator provides for easy access to the parking area/street level. It was super nice to have a parking spot provided with the condo, as it's nearly impossible to find affordable parking in Waikiki once you leave the property. Parking can be a little tight if you have a larger vehicle, so just keep that in mind. There is also a trolley stop right outside the condo's doors with several different trolley lines coming and going constantly throughout the day for $2/person -- my family used this several times! There was also the ABC Store right next to the condo building, which is a convenience store/souvenir shop that came in VERY handy throughout our trip! We probably stopped in there at least once a day and were able to get all of our groceries/snacks that we needed.
The location of the condo was wonderful. One block away from the beach, as well as TONS of shopping and restaurants for any and every budget. Eateries ranging from McDonald's and Subway to $200 surf & turf at Top of Waikiki ("Hawaii's Only Revolving Restaurant")! As far as shopping goes, the variety was pretty impressive. You could pick up a T-shirt at Billabong and a Christmas ornament in one of several {adorable} souvenir shops, then walk a few blocks down to "Luxury Row" and shop Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, or Hermès! We did a LOT of walking while we were in Waikiki (as well as hiking/other excursions), so make sure to bring your walking shoes :)
If you couldn't already tell, my family and I absolutely loved staying here. You definitely get your money's worth, and so much more! I really hope to be able to come back to Hawaii and stay here again someday :) THANK YOU LEXI!
