We stayed at Richard's place for the last 3 nights of a 2 week holiday in Hawaii. It suited our needs perfectly... good value, comfortable, clean, ocean view, close to Waikiki beach & places to eat. The apartment wasn't ready when we arrived so Richard lent us some surf towels and we headed down to the beach. He was a friendly and helpful host, providing extras like a sun lounge, beach umbrella, chairs and snorkeling equipment. The balcony is a great breakfast spot and there is parking (for a fee) under the building. As you'd expect in a place so close to all the action, there is some noise from the street. The air conditioner is a bit noisy too so bring earplugs if you're sensitive.
