This place was perfect for our 4-day Hawaii trip! The place is on the small side, but perfect for a couple who is planning on spending most of the trip out of the room. There's a nice view from the balcony, GREAT breeze coming from the ocean, and plenty of towels. The room is a bit dated but was clean and totally comfortable. Bed is comfy. We didn't use the AC much, but it's extremely powerful if you need it. We didn't really use the kitchenette either, but I noticed it was well-stocked. There's a convenient laundromat, cheap luggage storage, and minimart downstairs, too.

The bathroom is tiny, but water pressure is great. Make sure to bring your own toiletries because there is no shampoo or anything in the apartment.

The TV is mounted in a really weird place, so if you're planning to binge-watch Netflix maybe this isn't your best option. But, let's be honest-- who is going to watch TV while vacationing in Hawaii?

Location is two blocks from the beach and very convenient to everything in Waikiki. The area is super touristy and not the most authentic, but if you're going to be in this area you could do a lot worse. The neighborhood is a little noisy, but if you live in a city it's nothing you aren't used to. We loved being right off the beach and didn't want for anything staying here. Check in and check out were simple.

I do think it's worth noting that while we were here, we were awakened at 4:45AM by an emergency alert asking us to evacuate the building immediately. We located the emergency exits without too much trouble, but it was unnerving. When we got downstairs we were told it was essentially a power failure and not an emergency. I'm glad they have an alert system, but it was annoying and scary to evacuate in the middle of the night for a false alarm. It was probably an isolated incident, but in the interest of full-disclosure I'm mentioning it.

All in all, I have no regrets about staying here and would happily return on a future visit.
