The place is one building away from the beach and the "Waikiki Wall". Honolulu zoo is just cross street. Bus stops are steps away with routes you can go out to and come back from anywhere. It's also one of the places closest to the public tennis courts in the Kapiolani Park. So perfect location.
The unit we stayed was exactly as described. Mark was a very nice host. We would definitely choose to stay with him again next time.
Special note: there is no range hood, so I guess no bacons, no steaks :)
