This was a wonderful place to stay in Waikiki. Far enough from the downtown bustle, but still close to just about everything you might want to do. The view of Diamond Head is pretty fantastic both during the day and at night--a mixture of nature and urban life, filled with sounds of birds throughout the day. Do expect a tricky drive up the hill with one lane roads. As a girl who's lived in valleys my whole life, it's a little daunting but you get used to it.
As a host, Aaron is great. He's thought about everything and gives all of the necessary information before you arrive, so checking in and settling down is very easy. He's responsive and provides many things in his home including sandals to walk around the house, plenty of towels for 4 of us staying there, a full kitchen, a laundry room, and more. We didn't enjoy all of the amenities since we played tourist to the full extent, but knowing the amenities were there gave us piece of mind.
