Five stars all around, and it starts with the amazing host, Aisha. From the moment we booked, Aisha's warm welcome let us know we chose the right place.
The apartment was clean, with all the amenities you'd expect and need, but Aisha's personal touch set it apart: chocolates by the bedside, water chilling in the fridge, sunscreen waiting in the bathroom. It really felt like a friend invited us into their home.
Unbeatable location - everything the Waikiki area has to offer is within walking distance. Even if you don't want to range too far, there is great coffee and acai bowls across the street and excellent poke on the corner. You can be out the door and at the Duke statue and Waikiki Beach in under 5 minutes. Aisha also provided us with a list of her favorite spots, and every one was a hit (definitely try the loco moco from Shorefyre around the corner, and anything from Muragame Udon down the block)! Despite the central location off of a busy street, it still felt private and secluded. Aisha provided earplugs, but we didn't use them - the hum of the fan easily drowned out the street noise, and we slept soundly and comfortably every night.
Aisha's place was a perfect home base to rest and recover from our exploration and activities. We would definitely stay there again.
