I can't say enough good things about my stay at Hiroki's place. I booked the place on short notice and the rate I paid was unbelievably low, especially given the location. The view was great from the penthouse. I had two parakeet like birds on the ledge outside the window a couple of my days during my stay. I know they weren't parakeets, but it was cool to see the pretty birds outside the window. Finding the place was very easy and I was met by a representative who escorted me to Hiroki's place. Although you don't need a vehicle while visiting, I had a rental and access to the garage. The communication between myself and Hiroki was great. Any inquiry was answered immediately and as I traveled to the location, Hiroki kept in touch. The overall experience was awesome and getting access to Hiroki's was seamless.
The location was great. You're within walking distance of anything you need. On one side of the complex, you have the main strip. There are restaurants galore up and down the strip. I managed to eat at a few local restaurants which were fantastic. The ocean was less than a half mile I would guess from Hiroki's place. I walked to the Ocean and it didn't take long. In addition to the restaurants, there were a couple of convenience stores(ABC & 7-Eleven) if you want to get snacks, water, etc. I also found a Sam's and Walmart which was about a little more than a mile away from Hiroki's place. Waikiki beach is close by as well. Traveling to other places were pretty easy also. I made it to the Pali Scenic Lookout, did the Pillbox Hike and also made it to the KoKo Crater Railway Trailhead. In all of these places, I was able to get to each location in less than 45 minutes. Drive H1, H2 or H3 if you have rental, the views are worth the drive.
I travelled alone, but the place could have easily accommodated a family of four or two groups of couples. The place was immaculate, the bed was nice and comfy and it was a very comfortable environment.
I would definitely recommend staying at Hiroki's place and if I get a chance to visit Waikiki again, I'll definitely be looking to see if Hiroki's place is available as a first option.
