I had a really great time at Raenette's place. The photos give you a very good sense of the place, if anything the view might be nicer in reality than what the pictures suggest. So it's super clean and tidy, and the studio has everything you'd need, I think, there's even a small electric hob stashed in a drawer for cooking some simple meals, perhaps not best for anyone wanting to cook a fancy meal, but you've got a lot of great eats around you, so just go ahead and treat yourself to those instead!
The location is terrific, especially for anyone attending a conference at the Hawaii Convention Center, as I was -- just a 5-10 minute walk away. A 5-10 minute walk in another direction -- i.e., when you're trying to get away from the conference :) -- and you're at Hilton Hawaiian Village, which pretty much marks one end of Waikiki Beach.
There are also a couple of hidden gems right in the same building as the studio, not counting the breakfast/brunch spot Cream Pot, where I did have a delicious meal, but the word seems to be out about this place. No, the hidden gems I mean are the Maleko Coffee and Pastries shop, where I got my daily coffee fix and often a pastry sample or two from a Mark, the super nice guy running the place and conducting various baking experiments (usually successful) and King's Pub, a chill and casual bar which I regret not frequenting more often, especially during their happy hour (5-6pm) when you can get a pint of PBR of $1 and a slice of pizza for $1.
Last but not least, Raenette was really nice, and even went to the trouble of dropping off an iron when I told her I couldn't find one in the studio, allowing me to make a considerably less wrinkled appearance at the conference. :)
