Lauren was awesome, she sent over all the info a few weeks before arrival so we knew everything we needed to know. Her studio is about 15-20 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic. It’s right next to the Marina and plenty of different restaurants and cafes. Also, there’s the Hilton Village right next door which has a lagoon and its own beach about 3-5 minute walking distance from Lauren’s place. It’s beautiful there, but I recommend finding other beaches if you want to explore or get softer sand. The apartment itself has three restaurants on the bottom (Red Lobster, Chart House, and Outback). The first night we were so tired from the flight and ate at Red Lobster because it was so convenient (if interested, get reservations because they get pretty packed.) Lauren’s place is on the 12th floor overlooked the city side, we enjoyed the patio and the views. The apartment itself was nicely furnished with a super comfortable queen bed and amazing bedding/pillows with a large flat screen TV right in front with all sorts of apps to choose from. Also, there’s a couch, desk, and a small dining table for two people along with a kitchen. The kitchen had anything you’d need for most meals. We cooked only breakfast so it was definitely more than enough. There’s a fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, toaster, tea/coffee maker, and sink along with a bunch of dishes and glasses and utensils. The closet was a great size with plenty of hangers, shelves, bathing towels, and beach towels. There’s also a hallway closet where we found a large umbrella and two beach chairs to take with us to the beach. It was so amazing to have these and made our stay even better because we were duly equipped to spend the day at the beach. The area around the apartment is very safe and tranquil, there’s so many places to walk to. A huge mall is about 5-10 minutes away with so many food options and near so many other cool spots in Waikiki. You won’t regret staying here, I promise. Thank you Lauren for an awesome stay, we hope to return soon.
