Great little pad for the price. Steps from the beach, boardwalk, ABC stores, Starbucks, etc. and a nice view of Diamond Head right from the lanai. Bonus for LGBTQ folks: the local gay bar, Hula's, is just one floor down!
It's on a busy street, so expect some noise. Not so much from the bar, as you might expect, but mostly from people "cruising" and blasting music from their cars. The sliding door keeps it manageable and it does die down after 9-10pm. If the street bustle doesn't wake you up in the morning, the roosters at the park across the street will (wink).
I messaged Rey about possibly borrowing a wok to cook dinner and my jaw dropped at how quick her response was -- seriously, less than 2 minutes. And 15 minutes later, she was out front, dropping off not only the wok, but a whole stack of utensils she thought might be useful (including some herbs from her garden!) Like, wow. Great host.
