Richard's place was great! Everything we needed for a couple of nights in Waikiki. Richard was very accommodating, letting us check in really late at night and there were even a couple of cold beers waiting for us in the fridge. The studio was in a great location! Only 2 minutes walk to the beach and the hula mound, a grocery store practically in the lobby and then there's a great little coffee spot just down the road (Hawaiian crown plantation). If you walk 2 blocks the opposite direction you can see the city blending into the mountains, it's really quite cool.
It's ideal if you just want to relax on the beach or get over a bit of jet lag before heading off somewhere else.
