Our hosts were a considerable help with our stay. They met us before changeover to store luggage and provided valuable local dining advice (neighboring Japanese restaurant is very good value). The apartment was very well presented with good facilities and a handy location. Noise from neighboring road construction was a downside on work days, but noise was much lower than our later stay in a hotel more central to the heart of Waikiki. View across park and feeling of being on edge rather than center of Waikiki made a longer stay more pleasant.
