At the end of the day, you're not vacationing/visiting Hawaii to sit in a hotel all day. Chin & Twu's place, is the best bang for your buck. Has all the things you need to function a great vacation for the beach and Waikiki's shop. Seriously only 1-2 blocks away(50 yards) from the Waikiki strip/beach. And there are bus stops all along the street in front as well. It's a small cozy studio/room WITH AC(must) that allows you more flexibility with your budget. PLUS if you had any concerns or questions, Chin and Twu are just one text/call away. Very hospitable.
