Kurt's apartment was perfect, just what we wanted and exactly as described in the listing - if not better.
Kurt was helpful and friendly with responses from when we first enquired about the apartment, right up to when we checked out. They arranged a personal welcome board for us, and even left an Australian-themed Christmas present for us.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, a good size for a studio for 2 people and equipped with everything for a self-catered holiday, but also close to bars and restaurants when you want to get out. The view over Diamond Head is amazing, particularly at sunrise and sunset, and you can also look down to Waikiki beach and check out the surf before your short (100-150 m) walk down to hit the waves!
We also enjoyed the nice community feel of the building with some events for Christmas in the lobby, the friendly staff at the front desk and a really enjoyable vibe to the place. Although there is a bar on the second floor, we didn't hear any noise at all at night.
We really loved our time at Kurt's place, recommend it highly and can't wait to come back when we can. In a town of many anonymous highrises, this small building (10 floors) was a fantastic find.
