My husband and I are so happy we chose Benjamin's place for our little vacation, and my first time, in Hawaii. It was perfect! Benjamin is such a great host! He was communicative, very responsive, and accommodating. Although this room is a room within a hotel (Aqua Palms), it was a hotel room with personality. We felt so comfortable. It was clean, the bed was actually very comfortable with plenty of pillows (and I usually like to sleep with a lot of pillows), and Benjamin also provided some beach necessities, like camp chairs and a beach mat. That was a plus for us.
Another plus was that his place is located in the middle of everything that is to do in Waikiki. It was a 10-minute walk from the beach, and about a 15-minute walk from downtown. Around the corner, there is an authentic Hawaiian breakfast restaurant, called Aloha Kitchen, but if you're in the mood for American food, there is an IHOP sharing the same building as the hotel.
We will definitely be coming back!
