This place was perfect and exactly like the pictures! Erika and her family were very welcoming even letting me check in a day early. She even provided me some breakfast waffles, a couple of beers and a box of chocolates!
The view of the ocean was amazing! Defiantly a quiet place unlike my stay on Waikiki. It is ideal to have a car when staying at this location just because it is up on a hill, although I did take uber to Waikiki a couple of times and it was around 10-15 dollars, which isn't bad because parking in Waikiki is ridiculously expensive.
The bed is a foam mattress and some days I felt it was comfortable and some days not. Although This apartment provided me with everything I needed from the shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom to the iron, hangers and broom in the closet to the plates, drinking glasses, eating utensils and beach towels in the cabinet in the kitchen. The host even provided laundry soap in the apartment so I could do laundry during my stay.
I do have to admit that there were a lot of insect that I wasn't use to. There were a lot of lizards and very big roaches, but due to the climate it's going to happen. I saw two big roaches in the apartment my first two days there and was terrified how big they were. I told Erika's husband about it and he provided us with a spray that did its magic. We did not see any roaches the rest of our stay.
The biggest thing for me about this apartment was it felt like a home. After a long day of exploring this island it was so great to come back to a home and relax and make dinner unlike going back to your hotel room with take out and being able to hear the people in the room next to you.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something quiet and relaxing. If you want to be around everything I say stay in Waikiki. I will defiantly be staying here again. Thank you Erika for a great stay!
