This apartment was our home away from home on our stay in Waikiki! The building was built in 1969 (or so I overheard in the elevator) so it's has some years under its belt but the unit is beautiful and upgraded in many ways. We found it quite large and roomy for our family of 3. Everything was clean and welcoming. Makoto was quick to reply with emails and questions. The location was the best part as it was walking distance to downtown waikiki, the beach, and the Royal Hawaiian Center. The pool and hot tub look completely new and were a real plus in my view. The only drawback was that there was only AC in the bedroom and not the rest of the apartment. This was not clearly indicated and you can definitely open all the windows to get a breeze, but on hot muggy days with no wind, staying inside was tough (especially with a baby!). All in all, a great place to call home while vacationing.
