I had a wonderful, extended stay in Kelly's place. Not only was the home well situated between Ala Moana park (where locals go) and Waikiki beach (where tourists go), it was close to great grocery stores & bakeries and lots of restaurants, a main bus stop and a Biki spot. Kelly has provided most everything you will need for your stay, including a full-size kitchen, comfortable bed and a living room to relax in with lots of viewing choices on the TV. The wi-fi was fast for my video teaching needs. Another thing that was super fast, was Kelly's responses to my messages!
Because I live in an urban environment, I was not bothered by the occasional loud street noise (you are on the Ala Moana Blvd side) or the occasional wafts of cooking, cigarette and pot smoke smells coming from neighbors. With the lanai door closed, the unit is super quiet and the AC works perfectly filtering smells and keeping the unit cool. Also, there is no composting in Honolulu, so I would keep a bag of food scraps filling up in the fridge until ready to be disposed in the trash chute. None of these are within Kelly's control and are a typical of being in an urban high-rise.
I would love to stay here again and would give 6 stars if I could!
