Jiyoon's condo was the perfect place to finish up our Hawaii adventure! The condo is beautifully clean and comfortable, and it is super close to Waikiki Beach. When we were there, there were a lot of displaced service people (relocated from base due to water contamination) in the area, which made parking a bit of a challenge, but we were able to find parking at the Waikiki Sunset each night with only a slight problem one morning (side note: be careful parking in "public parking" decks - check for a spot BEFORE you pay for parking. some of these lots are very small, and there is no way to get your money back).
There are 2 restaurants right next to the condo that stay open late (one of them has live music that you can hear from the lanai), and there are many ABC Stores within walking distance.
I stayed here with my boyfriend, and we would definitely stay here again if we were in Hawaii together, but if I were going alone as a female traveler, I would probably stay further away from the city center. There are many homeless people around the beach and street corners of Honolulu (and many drunk young men approaching women).
