The experience from start to finish was A+. Jackie met me and walked me through the place--lot's of amenities, e.g. kitchenette, WiFi, TV, AC, beach towels/toys, and more. And the view was fantastic--great view overlooking the Ala Wai canal, with Diamond Head in the distance. Loved the sunset/sunrise!
The only thing I was concerned with once there was the AC unit as it is an in-window unit that makes a fair amount of noise (i.e. normal for that kind of AC unit). However, after a day out and about in Waikiki, I didn't even notice it.
The studio is well located in Waikiki; walking distance to A LOT of activities/sites. I walked to most places in Waikiki, but also used the bus (TheBus) as well. It was so easy to get around either way. For the places a little farther out (e.g. places in Honolulu, North Shore, etc.) Uber and a rental car had me covered. There are a number of rental car options, but if you are willing, TheBus will take you everywhere. I went to the Arizona Memorial and the Flea Market by bus, no problem
Jackie/Matt were very communicative throughout the process--planning through departure--making it a no-brainer to choose their property over others. (I read as much in the other reviews.) I would stay again! Thanks J/M.
