Although we did not meet Saichi, he was informative before and throughout our stay. The studio was clean and comfortable. The proximity to Waikiki Beach is a 5 to 10 minute walk as is to bus stops which makes for access to many of sites in the Honolulu area. The room is a good home base for walking to many neighborhood dining and shopping options and the coffee shop in the lobby has great pastries and other quick breakfast selections.
