Sara's apartment made for a wonderful family vacation. She kept in good touch leading up to our trip and sent very clear instructions with everything we needed to know a week or two beforehand. She lives on the 18th floor in the same building, so if you have any problems she's available to help. The apartment feels up-to-date and has a beautiful view of the Ala was canal, golf course, and mountains beyond. It had everything we needed, including a well stocked kitchen, tons of beach towels, boogie boards, extra sheets, and even a box fan. It was muggy when we arrived, and the air-conditioning units came in handy for those nights. On normal days the high-floor gets a nice cross breeze and air-con isn't necessary. The building is older but very well maintained and safe (with key fob access panels everywhere). The people we met in the elevator or elsewhere in the building were all very kind. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the roof deck, which has spectacular views and nice BBQ grills. Although Waikiki has come a long way, Tusitala street is a bit gritty but nevertheless feels safe even late at night, and we didn't find the walk to Kuhio beach or the Royal Hawaiian shopping center difficult at all, even with three kids. It took about 3-5 minutes. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to return the next time we are in Waikiki. Sana was a perfect host and the apartment made accessing all that Waikiki has to offer so easy.
