I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Eleanor’s lovely home. It is perfectly set up for visitors - comfortable king bed, selection of useful kitchen appliances, brightly lit bathroom, variety of towels and linens, user friendly cable TV set-up, with pool toys on the deck. And the amazing view!
Eleanor is a welcoming hostess. She reached out to me a few times before my visit to confirm location/access and offer assistance.
The location cannot be beat - overlooking Waikiki Beach, marina, and the lagoon at the Hilton next door. It’s a short walk to shopping and dining.
The apartment is in the iconic Ilikai, a lovely resort with a couple of pools - not huge but definitely convenient. It has a few shops, a popular ice cream and pop corn store, a cafe and a restaurant, Cinnamons, which makes an awesome beef kalbi loco moco among other things. On Friday night there was a Hawaiian dance performance on the outdoor terrace - very enjoyable.
In all, Eleanor’s place was really perfect for my first holiday after COVID. I look forward to staying there again
