Location can’t be beat! I lived for 3 months in Oahu several years ago. I planned the itinerary for my family trip and chose to stay in Waikiki because there’s more to do walking around at night and so we wouldn’t have to pay separately for parking just to eat in Waikiki. Matthew’s place is so close to the beach, high end shopping stores, night market, and good eats. I’m glad we stayed here. It was a little snug for 4 adults, but we were mainly there at night to sleep and left shortly after breakfast.
The one thing I didn’t realize is how many one way streets there are in Waikiki. I had some poor reception with my Tmobile 5G Google maps on my phone when driving to the Airbnb so the first night went on some annoying detours for about 15-20 minutes in the car. My advice is to always get on Kalakaua Ave (the major street with designer stores) and make a left onto Seaside Avenue to find your way back to the Airbnb. This was was the easiest for us. Thanks again, Matthew!
