I was raised in Hawaii, and it's been five years since my last visit. If you want to stay in Waikiki, I highly recommend renting this place. Brian is a great host, the condo was immaculate and check-in was a breeze. The beach, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, public transportation, and golf are all within walking distance and best of all the views from the wrap-around lanai is spectacular. I'm already planning my next visit and will definitely stay here again.
