Krystle the host was at my fingertips the whole time! She made check in and check out seamless and provided a sense security and extra comfort with my first trip to Hawaii. She even sent me must-sees and dos.
I can't say enough good things about this cozy studio apartment. It is recently renovated, extremely clean and packed with so many amenities...everything you need and didn't know you needed. The beach gear was great and easily portable. We were the cool, prepared folk @ the beach! The best part of the apartment was its location and amazing view (it was a hybrid of hotel and privately owned apartments). Waikiki beach is two short blocks away, the ocean can be seen from the large glass patio. The patio reveals all the happenings around including the ocean but is more for standing. The rooftop has 360 degree views of the island including the ocean which is breath-taking. We spent a lot of time on the roof top enjoying the heated pool, sunrises, sunsets and full moon! It also has hot tub, grills and seating for dinner and lounging which we did it all! There is a ton of great eating and shopping all around (Dukes is a must). Including a convenience/liquor store right outside the hotel door. There is a super cool, friendly, down-to-earth karaoke bar one block over (Wang Chungs). Great drinks!! On top of all that, the bus stop is just outside the hotel too. The hotel itself is a little dated but very well maintained and quiet at night. In fact, the lounge was being renovated and areas getting new paint. The lobby is nice and open with a huge sliding glass door. Front desk staff very accommodating and helpful. I could go on and on. Bottom line, this is my new go-to when in Oahu. If Krystle had other rentals in other states that I'm traveling, it would be a no-brainer.
