Nice apartment on the edge of china town. Was well stocked with things you could need. We thoroughly enjoyed the view and the access to the roof. The area is not the nicest but it is the place to be if you want to actually want to live in Honolulu, and enjoy eating and going out. Doug was very communicative and was helpful with any of our request. The apartment is a little dated but we never had any issues with the appliances, the one problem we did have Doug fixed immediately. Over all we loved our stay and can't wait to visit again.

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood, Chinatown/ Downtown Honolulu/ the Arts District where art, history and culture blend perfectly to create a very desirable and walkable lifestyle. Restaurants, cafes, bars, and the central business district are all within a five minute walk. Cool breezes funnel down the Nuuanu valley, creating a fresh air feeling. Fine dining is available at a fraction of what it cost in Waikiki, Kailua, or Kakaako. Waterfall hikes are just a short ride up the Nuuanu Valley, for endless hiking. As an avid cyclist, I appreciate the, safe and clearly marked bike paths crossing the city of Honolulu; allowing for easy navigation from here to Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana, and other nearby shopping and attractions. Costco, Home Depot, Safeway, and hundreds of restaurants are within a mile of this building. You can be anywhere on Oahu within a one hour drive. Daniel Inouye airport is 5.7 miles away, just a $15 uber ride.
What makes this property unique
THE VIEW; This 40th floor corner Penthouse is THE ONLY top floor high-rise apartment for rent in the city of Honolulu in Hawaii offering a 100% Private, deeded rooftop Lanai space, included in the rent. With expansive ocean city and mountain views, this is truly one of a kind set up, anywhere in the world.
