Suzi's place is in a great location. It's right in the middle of Waikiki Beach close to all the shops, restaurants, and markets. If you are looking for comfort at an affordable price this is where you want to stay. We never heard any of the neighbors. The windows are single pane so you may hear some of the noisy street traffic. We turned on the cooler and it drowns it out with white noise. No microwave, but we used the oven to reheat our leftovers with no issues. The washer and dryer is a must for this area. It's humid and wet clothes don't dry as easily. The corner markets have single laundry detergent packs you can buy for a dollar. We had a rental vehicle that we kept parked at Waikiki Banyan for a good price. If you stay a week they discount the rate at 80 dollars for a week, otherwise, it's 20 dollars a night. This is a home away from home.
