This location is excellent. We were close to all the things and places to eat at a very affordable price. We stopped at the grocery store 2 blocks down and got breakfast food to not eat out so much too. Any issues, owner responded quickly. Great for 2 people to see Waikiki. Balconies were great to eat dinner takeaway on and the bed was very comfortable. ##### Katie M.

A little confusing checking in, but Brenda was very accommodating. Everything you need - groceries, shops, restaurants, tours - all very close. Was in a building with many other rooms, but respectful neighbors. Great way to spend less on where you sleep and more on what Oahu has to offer. Highly recommend. ##### Amy S.

So we paid $30 and then had to usecUber in the evenibgs. ##### Karen E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renae S. 8 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to a lot of things! We were about 2.5 blocks from where tours picked us up. Close to a restaurant we enjoyed and a little over 2 blocks to the beach. The studio was clean and we did our part trying to keep it that way. We enjoyed the two decks and ate a few meals, via the kitchenette, on the deck with the slight ocean view. The downside was that it was fairly small and was in a fairly noisy location. There was a boarded up and vacant building about half a block away that a homeless person was hanging around. We never felt unsafe. Brenda was very awesome and allowed us to check in early and offered to let us check out late if we needed to! We very much appreciated that! Thank you! ##### Renae S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jon E. 8 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### City location & close to Waikiki beach The studio was in the city and close to the beach. We were able to walk to restaurants and stores. The bed was comfortable. The shower was nice with almost instant warm water. The WIFI was fast. Being in the city, there was lots of noise and chaos around us. The unit did not get quiet or dark at night. We had a rental car, and the parking situation was difficult and added another 43 a day. The owner warned us of the parking problems only 4 days before our arrival, so it was too late to look for other options. The parking price was not in our budget. It added up over the week. The parking garage under the unit was flooded for several days, so it wasn't an option. We prefer hiking, quiet beaches, and exploring the island over the city life. We should have looked for lodging away from the city, but this was our first stay on Oahu. We tried to make the best of it by doing touristy things around town and driving up the coasts. We loved the non-city part of Oahu much better and did not enjoy returning to the studio each day. It was exhausting. So, this is a good place to stay if you are a city person and don't need a car. Otherwise, I implore you to look beyond Honolulu. The rest of the island is amazing. ##### Jon E. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave 3 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This studio was just right for our stay in Waikiki. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was nice to have. Walking distance to all the interests around the area. Communication was good and the place was very nice and as advertised. Security downstairs was very nice and helpful. Plenty of ABC stores around (three within 2 blocks!) in case you forgot something. Plenty of food trucks and fancy restaurants and everything in between within walking distance. The only drawback is NOT with the studio - we loved it! But if you are going to have all your activities in the Waikiki area, then don't rent a car! Parking in Waikiki and Honolulu in general is terrible (it's a big city). There are several mobility rental sites from bikes to motorized scooters available right across the street and that with Uber/lyft is probably better and cheaper. Enjoy the walking and enjoy the vibe, this studio worked out great for us! ##### Dave Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth P. 16 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just right for our purposes My daughter and I each had some business to attend to in Waikīkī/Mānoa. This one-room studio was suited our needs well. Tidy, nicely-appointed, and convenient, with a well-equipped though tiny kitchen and strong water pressure in the shower, steps from the beach and "hotel strip" (although we had only one free afternoon to enjoy it). Free wi-fi and cable TV were handy. Note: always have your key fob with you - you need it to go up in the elevator. There's a laundromat and smart car rental downstairs, and a not-very-nice convenience market next door (currently only open until 11 pm, not 24 hrs. Great chili dogs!). There's an ABC store on the corner as well. Views, through all the high-rises, of the ocean and mountains - and occasional rainbows - from each lanai. - Note that you are required (no one checks and residents think it's a joke) to sign in - just once - with the night security person (not available during the day). (As of 10/7/21,) be prepared to show both ID and proof of CoVID vaccination or test for everyone in your party, all at the same time. Downsides: - Although one entrance faces Kūhiō St, the other faces a rather sketchy Prince Edward St. - This location is in the heart of Waikiki, which means it's a noisy and always-lit city environment, even late at night. There's an air conditioning unit that would allow you to close out some of the sound, but we preferred the tradewind breezes and just ignored the noise. The unit itself is quiet - we never heard any neighbors, next door, upstairs or down. -The location's parking is a joke: there are 2 underground garages, one on each side of the location, @ ~15 very narrow slots that are difficult to maneuver in and out of, cost $25/day, and are usually totally full. We ended up parking a block and a half away at the Waikīkī Banyan, where there's public parking - easily accessed and readily available, with a 24-hr attendant - for just $2 more a day. All in all, I would return to this unit if it's available, as I have recurring business in the area. Thanks, Brenda! ##### Beth P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021
