I highly recommend staying at this studio. Its perfect if you are traveling solo or with a partner. It is small but has all the things you would need to stay in the Waikiki area. The location is fantastic as it is literally 1 minute walk to the beach. You can easily pick up the Waikiki trolley to anywhere in Honolulu or walk to some of the key shopping malls in the area. There are 3 ABC stores with in a block of walking distance should you need to do a beer or food run. The view from the balcony is awesome. You can see the ocean and check the surf while sipping on your coffee and feel those nice tradewinds! All you need to bring is your clothes (i recommend bringing extra bath towel) and toiletries. Alexei provides beach towels, beach chairs and snorkel gear. He also has some bath linen and extra shampoo and body wash if you forget to bring with you. In the kitchen there are dishes, cook ware, basic spices, coffee maker (a must for us), toaster, microwave, etc. Staying here made our first trip to the Hawaiian islands even more relaxing and memorable.
