Location was great, we could walk to resturants, shopping and the beaches.The beds were comfy and the view was really fun. Looking out over the city, seeing the green covered "mountains" and seeing rainbow after rainbow. My kids especially liked watching the dragon boats go by on the canal below. Only con would be that it got a little stuffy at nights despite the two AC units they had. Bc the street noise was present we used the AC units as white noise ( which worked well, no noise pollution keeping us up). but the sliding doors in the living room had a nice breeze. Also, the pool was not heated as indicated. Ultimately, I'd certainly book it again :)

The location of the condo was amazing!! Just slightly away from the craziness of all the hotels. But still close enough to walk to the restaurants and beach. The AC units couldn’t quite keep up with the heat. The condo was slightly smaller than anticipated from the looks of the photos. But we still fit 5 people decently comfortably.

Good fit for us, not for everybody perhaps.

Enjoyed being a bit away from the busyness of Waikiki and having a parking spot. Also, location from where you can go easily to any location in the island is a big plus! Perhaps not best for those who mainly want the beach experience. The apartment is well designed and in good shape, the building a bit older.

Comfortable, easy access

Mahalo!! Beautiful and very comfortable condo. We stayed for 5 nights with our two adult sons. Loved that everyone had a comfortable bed. The furnishings were all very nice and the sofa was in great condition (and super comfy). Kitchen was well equipped. There were even a few k-cups and tea bags to get us going when we arrived. The drip coffee maker was nice to enjoy island coffee! The home was thoughtfully stocked with EVERYTHING we needed for the beach - towels, umbrella, chairs and a cooler. The parking space was a big plus for us since we wanted to spend time exploring other parts of the island. Our host Jackie was fantastic to work with. She. The car rental agency gave us an oversized SUV, she made sure to help us identify a parking space that would work for our vehicle size. She was very responsive and helpful! The location was easy enough to walk down to the beach and shopping ((10-20 min. Depending). Our only “nit” (but we expected it based on location) was that the street noise could be loud at times.

Wonderful First Time in Hawaii!

We--son, ex-hubby, and I--stayed in one of the many, many high rises right next to the waterway. Walking distance to just about everywhere--groceries, 7-11, restaurants, an actual mall, the beach, and additional shopping for all tax brackets and interests. This seems to be the island for shoppers and eaters, primarily.The apartment is on the 11th floor--scary for those who fear heights (me), but I managed just fine. Laundry room on the floor (3/load, not the worst I've seen). In the unit, it is roomy enough, lots of natural light, lovely views from the postage stamp balcony area (I did not go out there), a spacious kitchen for the size of the apartment with all the appliances of home. You could shop and prepare all meals easily. The single bathroom has a largish shower, single sink, and was reasonably well stocked with towels, and very well-stocked with other essentials. No complaints there. Bedroom 1 is a single off the kitchen area--spacious, decent storage, odd closet construction, but usable, comfy mattress and bedding. Bedroom 2 is a double (fulls, I think), far less closet space, more odd construction. Comfy beds and bedding carries through here, too. TV in the living room area is pre-loaded with some streamers--I don't recall which ones--and you can add your own if you choose. The WiFi works well. Comfy couch situation out there. Miscellaneous info: Cabs and Uber/Lyfts are easy to get there, while food delivery services are not. That's all I got
