I rented this chic small studio for a working week in Honolulu. I was not disappointed. The place was clean and bright, stylish and charming. The studio is very efficiently designed so it packs a lot into a petite space, but then the private, plant-filled patio practically doubles the amount of space you have to relax and unwind. The view of Koko Head each time I drove to or from the studio was a breathtaking bonus.
If you need a clean and comfy place to call home base for all your Oahu adventures, this is a great spot. You're very close to Waikiki, Hanauma Bay, Waimanolo, Kailua, and the gorgeous coastal drive toward the North Shore. It takes just 15 minutes to get to Kahala, Waialae Ave, and Waikiki.
The bed was comfy, with lots of extra pillows in the closet. The unit features both a ceiling fan and an AC unit that each have their own remote so you can control your temp from bed. The shower was modern with a tropical feel featuring a rain showerhead and a pebble floor. The kitchen was small but featured a great fridge and freezer, microwave, a big sink with a disposal, toaster, coffeemaker, a small assortment of pots and pans, dishes and silverware. A few more kitchen basics would be nice, but it was great to have the kitchen for my working trip—I didn't have the time to head out in search of every meal.
I would definitely recommend Orly's comfy studio—whether for work or for play, there's lots to do nearby and plenty of services like malls, pharmacy, cafes, and assorted shopping. But, it's also quiet. And after a few stays in Waikiki, the quiet you get to enjoy—away from the cacophony that is often middle of the night in Waikiki—is truly lovely.
