This place is fantastic! Half a block away from Kalakaua which is the main drag through Waikiki. On the fifth floor facing the courtyard, the studio was away from much of the noise. The 10th floor has a lanai that is common use, a fantastic place to watch the sunset and an unobstructed view of Diamond Head. The Honolulu Zoo is across the street and the beach is 1/2 a block away. Matt has beach chairs, snorkel gear and boogie boards in the unit for guest's use. Another nice thing is that there is easy pickup and drop off just in front of the building for ride sharing (Lyft, Uber) travelers. There's a small café between the building and Kalakaua that is open for breakfast at 6:30am, a great place to get a small picnic to take to the beach. There are 2 ABC (convenience) stores just around the corner from each other. Hula's, an LGBTQ bar, is on the second floor so that is convenient for fellow LGBTQ travelers! They also have a sunset dinner cruise on Saturday evenings.
For those hoping to snorkel Hanauma Bay, note that all users must register two days in advance for tickets. The online ticket window opens at 7am and spaces fill up quickly.
All in all, this was a fantastic place to celebrate a milestone birthday!
