Waikiki

"Beautifully renovated and maintained apartment for 2 with incredible Waikiki views and central location. The Murphy bed is so comfy. Excellent amenities and appliances. Just steps away from our favorite eatery, Paia Fish Market (skip the dinner lines and go for lunch)! Having a designated parking space is also a HUGE consideration for Waikiki. Loved the easy instructions and communication with host. Look forward to next visit!"

"The room is bigger than what I expected. It's a corner apartment, with windows to view the surrounding and great fresh air if you open both balcony door and kitchen window. You have a glimpse of the diamond head from the kitchen and the mountain view from the living room/bedroom. The laundry room is few steps away. The host was very accommodative with our request for late check out. Will definitely try to stay here again in the future."
