Location/View 10 stars

A perfect stay! The location and view was Beautiful. The sliding doors to the lanai made the room the perfect size. No AC needed with the open light and airy outdoor living experience. The bed/mattress gave us the perfect sleep. The AC when needed was perfectly quiet unlike those in your standard hotel. The couch was a plus making it a very homey feel We had all our meals on the Lanai enjoying the view of the beach, ocean and Diamond head. We couldn't be happier, perfect accomodations, pleasant hotel staff, will definitely book again.

Location & view can’t be beat!! The unit on the other hand needed maintenance. The trim in needs to be replaced or painted. The furniture is too big and some of it useless. Just because you put a chair cushion on an end table doesn’t make it a chair the de be use gor much of anything. The

Can’t beat the view!

We loved this property! The bed was very comfortable, really nice kitchenette, bathroom was fine with a nice, big tiled shower, but the balcony and view was the BEST! Excellent view of Diamond Head from within room/bed. Very large retractable patio glass doors to balcony. From balcony the view of Diamond Head in background and overlooked Honolulu Zoo. If you bring binoculars or have a good zoom on your camera you can watch many pink flamingos playing in pond at the zoo! And if you looked to your right from the balcony, you had an amazing view of Waikiki Beach with all the beautiful blues and greens of the ocean, and the pier! Room size definitely only for 2 people, but worked great for the 2 of us. There was one beach chair, a boogie board, some snorkeling gear and a small soft sided cooler in the closet, which was nice. We used the bus (lots of bus stops within 1/2 mile) for trip to Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and bus #20 back to airport and had no issues at all. Easy to find bus stop, bus #, etc from google maps which updated in real time if bus was running late. Just get to bus stop 5 min early, as buses sometimes are even early and they do leave as soon as anyone there is loaded!! We spent time every night on the pier right down the street to watch and photograph amazing sunsets, surfers and watch the Friday night fireworks!! Highly recommend this place for an economy stay on Waikiki!

Close to everything - small but efficient

My wife and I love visiting Hawaii as we both grew up and met in High School there. This small but nice apartment is in a great spot. We could walk to almost everything in Waikiki. The beach is 1/2 block away. We used to get our coffee and sit on the beach almost every morning for the 2 weeks we stayed here. We would definitely stay here again.

Compact unit in great location with awesome view at a reasonable price just a half block off a quiet area of Waikiki beach. It was great to be able to store our luggage before and after checking in and out. One issue arose but was quickly resolved in a satisfactory manner.

I loved the location and mostly the spectacular view!

The studio is well equipped and nice but during our stay we had in the bathroom and kitchen counter very small ants that bothered us a lot. Even if we were always cleaning with special products, they were still there. We reported that to the manager. We hope they will seriously look into it. We were there between August 7th to 15th.

Comfortable & convenient!

This unit met all our needs. We checked in with no problems & enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous view of Diamond Head & the Pacific Ocean. Sometime we enjoyed hearing the sounds of elephants & the gibbons singing across the street at the Honolulu Zoo, not to mention how fun it was to watch the flamingos sauntering around their pond from our balcony. The unit was clean & comfortable, & when we encountered a minor issue, which was our own fault, Mark quickly responded & pointed us in the right direction. We also found the bed extremely comfortable. The building is also close to the beach, breakfast (LuLu's), coffee, nightlife & public transportation. We miss Hawaii dearly & would love to stay in this unit again!
