It’s closer to residential but still walkable to Waikiki area. We didn’t run into many tourists in our area. Room was perfect for us and very clean. AC was cold.
If you do a Lyft, you’ll be fine. If you rent a car, you might have trouble finding a public parking spot due to being so close to a public park. We ended up paying for parking within the hotel one day.
Overall it was a good spot for us

Located a few minutes from Kapiolani Park and a few steps to the ocean it doesn’t get much better. Our condo had a lanai so you can enjoy the sun and breezes all day long if you so desire. Honolulu without the crowd!

The location of this condo couldn’t be more perfect if you want to be close to everything, but away from the noise and crowds.
The host was very communicative and very friendly and helpful. The condo building itself was nice and the neighbors were friendly.
Only critique is that the bed and pillows were not the most comfortable. The mattress was firm and slightly uncomfortable and pillows were flat as paper. Some updates to the bedding would make it near perfect!

This condo was all we needed for our stay sans vehicle. It was right in the ocean, view was 270 degrees of ocean, mountains, Diamond Head and more. Lanai is not roomy but enough for 2, and furniture can be updated or cushions replaced but none the less it was coffee out there every morning. Never used the AC as the breeze was lovely. We walked everywhere or a friend picked us up. Access and safety was great. Thanks Mark...

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Great views of the ocean and Diamond Head from the lanai and the location worked well for us. Quiet location/building and the residents we encountered were friendly and helpful. It was a quick/pleasant walk to Waikiki for when we wanted to be more in the thick of things. Beautiful park across the street and there was ample free parking next to it during most of our stay. This listing was as described; it's a hotel room-like setup, but it had what we needed. There were thoughtful additions like beach chairs, umbrellas and an insulated bag that came in handy during our adventures. There is a small, private grassy waterfront area between the building and the ocean that had several lounge chairs; it's a nice location to watch the sun go down (but the best location for that was the lanai!). Not a luxury property, but an exceptional value in my opinion. Mark (owner) is very responsive!

Condo is in a great location for Waikiki and Diamond head. You can walk most anywhere, including walking up Diamond head. Bicycle lanes are good. We loved it there.

The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. The balcony provided a great view of the ocean and Diamond Head. I loved the location near the park and Waikiki Beach. It's near bus lines, but we also walked everywhere and did our favorite run around Diamond Head. Highly recommend.

The condo was a quaint little spot with a pretty nice view! For the price it was definitely worth staying in Hawaii. I was a little disappointed with how hot it got even with the amount of times we opened the lenai door to bring in the Hawaiian breeze. I also had to kill 2 cockroaches. But hey what are you gonna do. I’m not upset by any means. It was nice for my husband to have our honeymoon here and have a place with the view to stay. One thing I wish this place did have was a pool and/or hot tub. The lounge area outside has a wonderful view as well. Would stay here again.

If you are happy to walk or pay for an Uber ($10-$15 to Waikiki and to Diamond Head) it’s a nice location away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Beautiful views of the ocean and diamond Head. The condo was very clean and Mark was wonderful to communicate with. It took us about 15 minutes to walk into the heart of Waikiki. Parking wasn’t an issue. Very good value.

The property was comfortable and convenient. Mark was sure to provide all the amenities an out-of-towner might need! He was responsive when I had questions. The apartment was adorable!
I would love to return during my next stay on O`ahu!

If you want to be near the downtown area without all the noise, this studio is great. Our only complaint was cooling down the studio after a long day was difficult as the AC unit and windows are all you have. A standing fan would be the perfect remedy. Otherwise, we had zero complaints!

Mark’s property is just as described and very clean. The view from the unit is amazing with both mountain and ocean. My husband and I were very happy with the location being close to the city but out a bit that you’re not caught up in too much congestion. Prior to booking I saw some reviews about parking. We found parking to be so easy at the meters that only run from 10am to 6pm. Free/no limit the rest of the times. With us being out and about, this was no problem for us. The few times we stopped back in to get ready for dinner, we put in two quarters that bought us an hour. A/C was slightly loud, but that’s any A/C unit and didn’t bother us. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again next time we’re in Oahu! Thanks Mark!

Great location for both Diamond Head and Waikiki. We enjoyed the quieter pace in this neighborhood vs. the hyper crowds in the middle of developed Waikiki. And it is a pleasant 15 minute walk into the busy part of Waikiki for restaurants and people watching and surfing lessons. The closest restaurant is The Barefoot Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will be back.

My husband and I had an amazing 8 days staying at Mark’s property. The property is exactly as listed and perfect for two people. We rented a vehicle and had no issue with parking overnight at the metered spots or just across the park during the day if needed. We also walked into the Waikiki beach area for dinner several evenings as well (about one mile)! The garden area is beautiful and has plenty of seating for pre dinner drinks and morning coffee. We enjoyed the Lanai in the room as well. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again!

I'm not a cook, so this unit did nicely for me. I think it would have been somewhat inadequate otherwise. But the description adequately described it.
The unit was quiet and loved the location close to the Elks Lodge, and an easy drive from my friends' house.

The parking situation described in the property is not completely accurate. We stayed on a weekend and the park across the street mentioned in the description has a lot of parking spaces but it was completely full on several occasions, requiring us to continually circle the park looking for a car that was leaving (along with other drivers doing the same thing) and we usually had to park very far away from the property and walk a lot farther than 5 minutes. Friday night on arrival, both Saturday and Sunday as well. It usually clears out a bit later in the evening, but unless you're staying out somewhere else it is a pain.
Other than that the apartment is decent, the location is nice. It would be a five star rating if it weren't for the parking issues.

Perfect location! Just the right spot for enjoying the beauty around you. It was so nice to be able to walk to a quiet beach or hike Diamond Head Mountain. So much better than staying downtown in the crazy busy atmosphere of tourist. Clean and cute!

Exactly as advertised. Mark is a great host, always checking in during the entire reservation/stay process. Very responsive and timely.
Property is well-positioned if you do not want the noise and hassle of downtown, but want to be able to frequent all the good restaurants; easy walking distance with delightful views along the way.
Property has a private lanai that abuts the ocean. Extremely peaceful, serene and calming. Free parking is available across the park, but if travelling alone, be aware that dragging a suitcase across the park is a tad cumbersome.
Would highly recommend the unit and I plan to return!

We had a great stay. The location was fabulous for us as we like to stay out of the hustle and bustle. It is only a 15 minute walk to all the shopping and restaurants. The beach was close, lots of coral would recommend water shoes. Great quite location.

I absolutely loved this well stocked unit. It's at the end of the hallway, so no one walks by your window.. It has amazing views of Diamond Head, the park and of course the ocean. The outdoor sittng area is perfect for morning coffee, sunbathing and sunset watching. A beautiful beach is like a 3 minute walk away. There is a well stocked convenient store just before the beach. Waikiki is a 15 min walk away. I use to live in Hawaii and I knew I wanted to stay in this area, I feel safe in this area. It did not disappoint. I can hardly wait to go back

We were looking for a place just outside of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but still walking distance and this place was it. Great views of Diamond Head, the ocean and Honolulu city lights. The condo was definitely no frills, but was comfortable and had what we needed. I recommend making the hike up Diamond Head where you can see the property from the top and rewarding yourself with a pineapple smoothie!

This location was perfect for our adventures to Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the Capitol building. Well kept and clean. Comfortable bed and furniture. The view from all 3 sides (because it’s an end unit) were spectacular! The city, the ocean, the park and fountain across the street and Diamond Head. The outside patio had a comfortable chaise that we enjoyed a lot! The nightly breeze was super fun blowing into the room. We enjoyed this magical room a lot! Easy to communicate and reach our host, too.

This is a perfect location for us, next to the OCC and in the neighborhood we grew up in. The unit has been very nicely updated and has AC for the few occasions you need it. Mark was really easy to contact and check in was a breeze. Perfect vacation!
