Norma’s place perfect for our little family of 3.
Location is great. Walkable distance to beach/restaurants. The city noise did not bother us, but we are from a large city. However, something to note for those who are not accustomed to it. The building overall is peaceful, safe, and secure. Checking in was very easy. All basic needs are provided in the home.
For those with car rentals: The attached parking garage has maybe 10 available spaces total. So as other reviews mentioned, it is very limited. We found street parking on Ala Wai during our stay and did not mind the 10-15 minute walk (though it’s an awful walk upon arrival after multiple flights delays, hunger pains, and carrying luggage with a small child). Ala Wai turns into a tow zone on Mon & Fri mornings so I’d suggest planning any driving trips during those times to avoid being towed.
We did not need to contact Norma for anything during our stay, but she is very responsive and we would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!
