10/10
We made a few wrong turns getting there, but once we found the place we felt right at home. The apartment itself is neat, clean, and efficient. Good design and use of space. Unmentioned in the description is the set of pocket doors that permits a late sleeper to wallow in bed for an extra hour or so. Hawai'i was experiencing record-breaking high temperatures during our stay, so we never used the small balcony, but the sliding glass doors did afford us a good view of the street and of passersby. The window air conditioner cooled the rooms quickly. We did turn it off when we left, as requested.
The very best feature of this vacation spot is its location. Absolutely perfect. Not a fancy neighborhood. Working-class perhaps? Nearer to the Ala Wai Canal than to the beach. We walked along the canal nearly every day. It is shaded by the buildings in the afternoon. We like to walk, and from the apartment we walked to the top of Diamond Head one day, to Ala Moana including Magic Island twice, down to the Natatorium just about every day, to Safeway once, around Diamond Head once. And of course up and down Waikiki every day. There is a little store next door where you can buy cold drinks and other essentials. Lots of canned goods in there.
We would definitely stay at this vacation property again.
