Located on the west (Ewa) side of Waikiki, Ala Moana Beach and shopping center is about a 15-minute walk. Be sure to ask Stellavera and Michael about parking if you are going to rent a car. I was recommended a garage right next to the condo that was very easy to get in and out. The unit was fine for my short stay. There was some very good Hawaiian coffee that was pesticide free. I really enjoyed drinking that morning coffee and watching the sun rise over Waikiki Yes, the view from the unit was fantastic. Inn on the Park is secure building with a security guard and FOB for the elevators. Stellavera and Michael are very prompt with correspondences. Your questions/concerns will be addressed.
