The unit had extremely wonderful views from the 41st floor. One from the living room where you see the ocean directly in front and the other in the balcony with great views of diamond head and the canal.
No need for ac (there was one in the bedroom but none in the living room) because Hawaii weather is cool enough in May.
It is central to Waikiki. You can walk to the beach and even to Waikiki beach (although we did not do it but i would think its a 20 to 30 min walk). You can also walk to Ala Moana mall which is like 2 to 3kms away.
The parking lot always has available slots for flat rate with Vinny of US$10 a day.
The only complaint I have is the host promised us that we can leave our bags in the lobby when we check out because our flight is at not until 10pm. Sad to say i discovered that they dont allow bags to be left in the lobby when we checked out. Thats a big problem because we had 5 big suitcases. The building does not have bag lockers as well. We went to the airport to put our bags in bag lockers but they dont have any at the Hawaii airport also so we ended up packing it tightly inside the car and locking the car in the parking lot when we roamed about before our flight.
