Excellent location and especially nice having 2 parking spaces as we had friend and family in Oahu and they were able to come visit without worrying where to park. Everything in Waikiki was walkable since this location is right in the middle. You can see the Friday fireworks directly from the balcony so no need to go to the rooftop if you don't want to. No real view from apartment otherwise as the surrounding highrises block everything and also cause the street noise (sirens, children in the pool below) to be very noticeable. That and the noise of the two window air conditioners was the only negative during our stay. For inexpensive eating, go to Maruyama Udon restauran (available for take out)t or go 3 blocks down the street to Food Pantry for lot of ready to eat food and reasonable prices. Tadashi is an excellent communicator and answered our emails within 15-30 minutes. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Waikiki!
