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.
