"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!"
