The location is really wonderful--right in downtown Waikiki and within easy walking distance of the beach and all the action on Kalakaua Avenue. The condo is not super modern but it fulfilled our needs very well and the view is fabulous. The condo is high up on a corner so the view is of the canal and hills one way and Diamond Head and a bit of the ocean on the other. The host, Mitsuo, was very responsive and helpful via email. The checkin was a little convoluted as I had to ask where the lockboxes were--they are a bit hidden behind a post towards the back of a pass-through lane on the right side of the building. But the staff was very helpful and, once we found the keys, everything went fine. The building has a self-service laundry and a convenience store which, although quite expensive, is really useful. The condo is affordable in a very expensive area and I would recommend Mitsuo's place for a nice stay in Waikiki.
