We booked this unit in downtown Honolulu as it was very close to Queens Hospital. While a little bit away from the main tourist places, it was walking distance to attractions like the art Museums, Iolani Palace, the Kakaako Street Art (which we loved!!). There is a Longs Drugs, Walmart and plenty of restaurants (local non-touristy) that deliver within one block of the unit so it was convenient for us when we did our 2 week quarantine. Free covered parking was included so that was great and made it easy to get around. Plus the bus stops to Waikiki or airport was just a block away.
The unit was as described. Just a couple of notes: We loved the washer/dryer in the unit — so very convenient. The windows do not open but thermostat worked fine to control A/C. No dishwasher but the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals during quarantine (including a fancy fuzzy logic rice cooker). Bare floors made it easy to keep clean with the Swiffer mop in the closet. The dining table is higher with bar stools instead of chairs. Plenty of linens and bedding available to sleep 5 comfortably and a selection of firm and soft pillows for a good nights sleep.
The unit is on the 18th floor so we could enjoy the beautiful sunsets each night (view of the city and harbor). Even though we were in a high rise, we could still hear some birds singing at dawn and street noise. The building across the street was being jackhammered — but only during the day. There was enough space in the one-bedroom unit to spread out. Unfortunately, the pool and other building amenities was closed for Covid during our stay so we didn’t use it.
Check in was convenient as we just picked up the key via a combination lock box and the building is secure (everyone needs a fob to use the elevator). Vinny was quick to respond to a couple of times when I had questions and is very good host.
All in all, it was a pleasant stay as long as you understand that the location is not in the Waikiki resort area and don’t expect views of beaches and oceans from this unit. It’s more of a downtown Honolulu experience.
