Our stay at Atsuko's place was so nice and easy! Extremely convenient location off of Kuhio in Waikiki. Very close to the Zoo and Aquarium which made for fun outings. It's very easy and fast to walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. If you'd like to explore more parts of the island, I definitely recommend renting a car, though the bus system is also great and connected to Google Maps for easy navigation. The only downside was very thin walls and lots of noise from the neighbors, but that was easy to look over! Just something to consider if you have light sleepers, a baby, anything like that.
