Blake's place was a home away from home. It was the perfect place for myself & a friend. I couldn't have asked for a better location - blocks from the beach & surrounded by great places to eat. You're close enough to the strip that you can walk its entirety. You're strides from Waikiki beach which trails to Hale Koa & eventually leads to Ala Moana Park. The beach accessories available were so clutch & I didn't have to waste my time/money searching for these items in the shops. You're so close to the zoo as well you can add that to your agenda without going out of your way. The kitchenette was great & fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare a meal or just store some leftovers.
Blake was extremely helpful & available for any questions I had with plenty of recommendations. We even took his advice for renting a Smart Car that was right downstairs from our stay! It was affordable & perfect for exploring the island. I recommend this place for any single or couple traveling to Honolulu. It may be too intimate for 3+ people (unless the 3rd or more are children) but the extra futon was uber comfy for me. If I didn't have to return to the mainland, I would have moved right into Blake's stay. I couldn't have asked for a better place & I can't wait to go back.
