    Comments: I typically struggle to find safe, clean, and affordable rentals that can accommodate our groups of boarding school students and field trip chaperones so I was thrilled to find this property in Honolulu! Having three apartments to spread our group of 11 across was a lifesaver! Emerald was courteous, responsive, and dedicated to creating an enjoyable guest experience. It is apparent that she is an experienced and competent property manager. On our second day we requested additional bedding and Emerald had her fiancee run them by before bedtime that night. The bathrooms were stocked with toiletries, towels, laundry detergent, and sunscreen. The bedrooms were clean with plenty of mirrors, which is a huge perk when you have seven teenage girls trying to get ready all at once. We occasionally felt a bit cramped in the sleeping spaces but that was due to our policy that students can't share beds. Large families, couples, and groups of friends would sleep very comfortably if some folks shared beds. The TVs and provided DVDs in the living rooms were awesome when the kids were winding down at night. There is no AC but the fans were super effective and we stayed cool and comfortable in the 80* heat. The neighborhood is vibrant and active, and it is a short walk to a Safeway grocery store. There are tons of yummy and surprisingly affordable restaurants close to the listing. We recommend Konos, Da Ono, and Leonards (of course). We originally on using "The Bus" for transportation but we were stoked that Waikiki was a safe, easy, and quick (10-15 minute) walk from the apartments. The provided parking spots were a lifesaver when we rented a Jeep for a trip to Kailua. There are also a multitude of Lyfts available in this neighborhood so you could easily skip renting a car. The apartments are next to a main artery of the city and there is a bar across the street that was busy Thursday-Monday but Emerald prepped us about the possibility of neighborhood noise if we chose to sleep with the windows open. Between the earplugs we packed and the fans that Emerald provided noise was a non-issue, and we got a kick out of listening to the fun bands and karaoke singers while we relaxed on the balcony. Thank you Emerald!

    Comments: what a great what a great place to stay! It was about a 20-minute walk to the beach, great restaurants nearby, Safeway was a five minute walk, designated parking, locked Gates made you feel safe. The apartments were the perfect size and they were clean. We had a group of 11 people, and we all enjoyed our stay at Emerald's!

  • Reviewer: Rebekah

    Comments: For our group of twelve, Emerald’s apartments were A+. Every apartment is cozy without feeling crowded. Each room was fully stocked and ready for use! The location was ideal - a short walk to Waikiki beach, close to great brunch spots, and it never felt far from a great place to souvenir shop. Overall, a great experience.

    Comments: The visit to Hawaii (Oahu) and the use of AirBnB was the first for my family, and Emerald’s place and hospitality was ideal for the occasion. We very much appreciated its location (central to many attractions), cleanliness, and prompt communication offered to us during our first visit to Hawaii.
