Nobu was very accommodating on our late check in. He was also very responsive and helped us out when we couldn't get the hot water working. He offered to move us to a different room. He is a great host! The studio was as pictured. The AC was great. The mattress was maybe not the best for someone with a poor back. Overall, this was a great no frills place if you just need somewhere to rest your head but still has a cooking area and full size refrigerator. It is a bit outside of the main area on the edge of Waikiki but honestly you won't want to spend too much time there anyways. Rent a car for sure and visit the the north shore, and rent cars early as everywhere will sell out quickly.
