I was looking for a place for a last-minute work-cation that met the following criteria: 1) a couple blocks from the beach; 2) great views (in this case, Diamond Head to the left and Kapiolani Park Beach to the right); 3) work area and desk chair; 4) lanai; 5) equipped kitchenette; and most importantly 6) cost-effective.
When I saw Yurika's place, I knew immediately I had found my remote office in Waikiki for a week!
An added perk was having the beach chairs, umbrella, and bodyboard available to use, which ended up saving a few more $$$.
As others mention, if you need a temporary reprieve from the hustle and bustle that is Waikiki, you can close the dual-pane windows and sliding door and turn on the a/c, and it's cool and quiet in no time.
If you are bringing a few extra electronics like I did for work, make sure to buy or bring an extension cord, and this will also let you work out on the lanai.
Love Yurika's place and can't wait to come back!!
