Julia's place is everything! Perfect location with the most beautiful views to both Waikiki beach and Diamond head. Literally 2 small blocks from the beach with tons of shops and restaurants all around. There is no need to rent a car unless you plan on touring other parts of the island. Even the Zoo is within walking distance. Condo is clean and has everything you need from cooking and hairstyling to a day at the beach with chairs, towels, umbrella, and scuba gear. There were plenty of towels and hot water with good water pressure. The bed was also very comfortable. I slept like a baby. The elevator wait was never long and the front desk was very kind. Julia was a great host and very easy to contact. I am so happy I chose Julia's place for my first visit to Hawaii.
