Older building, studio was small but well appointed. Views were good, but no private outside space. No access to beach without walking out on the street. Found 2 restaurants within 1/2 mile. One in a fairly pricey hotel. The other was basically a fast food restaurant. If you think you will walk to all waikiki has to offer, think again. My wife and I walk a mile and a half per day, up and down hills. In the heat and humidity, we rarely walked more than 1/2 mile. You need a car. As far as the owner, great communication, but when we decided to leave after the first night, due to the isolation of the property, we inquired about a partial refund. We had rented for 10 nights. All we were hoping was that a token refund would be issued for the very limited use of the property, so little to no wear and tear, and virtually no use of the utilities. The owner would not issue any refund. I realize I had no legal standing to expect a refund, but a few hundred dollars refunded would have been a nice gesture. So, we are unhappy that we concentrated on the owner's beautiful pictures of the view from the studio, and did not research more thoroughly. No pool, limited outside space to relax and "hang" out, few restaurants/bars within walking distance, access to the beach and ocean are along a fairly busy street, and a studio apartment that is about the size of a hotel room, i.e. the "kitchen" contains a microwave, and a coffee maker. We were expecting more.
