Please believe me when I say many views may impress you as a visitor, even looking at another building with a few well placed palms or a sliver view of the ocean & partial view of world famous Diamond Head HOWEVER...views from this space will impress a local who lives here and is used to the ocean views. Don't settle for less :)<br /><br />As you enter the lobby decorated with colorful hawaiian flowers and spiritual buddha statues, you feel excited as you enter the newly installed elevators (2) which is trimmed in beautiful hawaiian wood. You are quickly transported on to the eighth floor. There you turn right and see unit #814, slowly open the door and see an unobstructed million dollar view of world famous Diamond Head. Walking out onto the lanai, you see the horizon, the best part of Waikiki beach, the many greens & blues of the ocean. Sailboats, sun worshipers, and a wonderful blue sky surround you and welcome you to your new home.<br /><br />This Waikiki Treasure is a stone's throw away (LESS than 1/3 of a block) from the beach. NOTE: Kuhio Avenue & Ala Wai Blvd are quite a walk from the beach. You do not want a high floor view... it means a long wait for elevator up & down and it usually means the building is far from the beach and needs to be high to look over the other buildings. "A view of other buildings with a few palm trees is NOT a good view LOL...(as I've seen on other Airbnbs) Also, all Airbnb hosts are not created equal...(have a conversation with the host before you book) Do not be fooled by generic pictures of Waikiki....ask host for actual views!!! This space is on the 8th floor with the best views. Also you do not want to be in the middle of the action in Waikiki... noisy and the most congested part of the beach. We are located next to the Zoo & Kapiolani Park... lots of green and space, yet close to shopping, restaurants & the Waikiki action. When you stay in this part of Waikiki you will never go back to the other sections.<br /><br />The unit comes with large apartment refrigerator, microwave oven, 2 burner cooktop, flat black rock shower, Queen real bed, large mirrored closet, split automatic air conditioner, 42″ flat screen television, High Definition , utensils, plates, cookware, clean linens, towels, beautiful designer sink (double duty) and plenty of Positive Energy !!! <br /><br />Parking in the building is $30 / night. Please reserve with the front desk in advance to make sure one is available when you arrive.<br /><br />Laundry Facilities in the basement & 24 hour security for your safety.<br /><br />IMPORTANT: This is a private studio (not shared). 2nd person is free .<br /><br />There will be a $200 fine if the smell of smoke and/or ashes cigarette butts are found on the premise for smoking is prohibited in all rooms, lanais and common areas.
