Mayu's place is very much as described. The views are great and the view of the Friday night fireworks is perfect. The favourite part of the apartment by far with the family was the ice maker on the refrigerator (no surprise there I guess). Clean and tidy and everything you need. We were there for 18 days so a long stay and Mayu was the perfect host and the Property Manager was fantastic. The decor is starting to look just a little dated but everything is in good working order and in great condition and the beds were comfortable so worked out well for our vacation. The pool was a little on the small side and did get a little crowded at times especially when lots of kids were around at the weekends but was a great area and the jacuzzi was a good size. Its about a 40 min walk along the beach front to the statue of the Duke at Waikiki but only 5-10mins to a great beach area perfect for kids and adults. Ala Moana Shopping centre is about a 10-15min walk away. So lots of walking options and of course there are bus stops and Pink Trolley stops nearby. There is an ABC shop on the corner near the building (surprise surprise) and a Food Pantry supermarket about a 5min walk away. For all your tours you can get a pickup and drop off at the Illukai Hotel not far away (across the road from the complex). There are a few restaurants around or you can catch the trolley into Waikiki or walk (trolley) to Ala Moana for more options. So all in all a great place to stay close to everything without being in the heart of all the busy-ness of Waikiki.
