We wanted an easy place to stay for the Honolulu marathon, and the studio did the job. It's located right next to where the buses leave for the start line, which is very convenient, and I also much prefer this (quieter) end of Waikiki. Check-in was totally hassle-free, which was great. If there was one minor annoyance it was that the walls are thin enough that you can hear conversations in the neighboring rooms. If that would disturb you, bring earplugs (I forgot mine).
