1. This property is on the east side of Waikiki and a short drive to the H-1 Freeway, which is key to getting around Oahu - a plus if you have a rental car.
2. Being one-and-a-half blocks from Waikiki Beach is a great benefit. It is a world class beach, and being able to stroll down and back on a whim means you can squeeze in a swim or beach walk anytime.
3. This property is on the ninth floor which means that, in many ways, you can bypass long waits for the elevators. We parked on the 4th floor on the east side, and were able to walk up and down five stories to the room. There is a safety door above the fifth floor, so always carry your common area key. Also, you can walk down and back to the sixth floor recreation area without using the elevators to take a quick dip in the pool.
4. Finally, the garbage disposal is very much appreciated, as is the little vacuum cleaner (bring some earplugs) since getting sand in the place is a face of life in Hawaii. The laundry room is next door, but the noise did not bother us.
