Overall my partner and I enjoyed our stay at Julia's place. We stayed at her condo twice on the same trip to Honolulu (separated by a week in Maui). It's in a fantastic location right across from the beach with great views of the ocean and Diamond Head. There are many places to eat nearby. It's close to bus stops, shops, the zoo and aquarium and a 20 min walk (5 min by bus) to Leonard's bakery and Safeway which are both on the same street. The condo has everything you'll need - lots of towels and a well equipped kitchen as well as some beach gear. The lanai was fantastic and although the room was not very large, there was enough space for the 2 of us plus luggage. We had a small issue with the tv not working properly when we arrived however Julia was quick to get this fixed and was working without problems on our return. The air con and fan worked great to cool the place down, Hula's downstairs was a little noisy but didn't really bother us. I would highly recommend her place to everyone and would happily stay here again.
