The good:
- location (easy into Waikiki, easy out if you have a car)
- reserved parking spot (extremely important in that particular area)
- the Brew and Foam coffee shop on the ground floor (açaí bowls were fantastic)
- the view mauka toward Manoa, and opening the balcony door to the trade winds
- 2 bedroom units in the area are rare and generally pricey
- strong and reliable Wifi
The opportunities to improve:
- the AC went out for our final few days there (not the host’s fault - this was a building issue). When we tried to open some windows to create a cross breeze, we discovered that some of the window mechanisms were broken and inoperable.
- TV wouldn’t connect to the Wifi (reached out to the host about this and never got a response, which wasn’t awesome). We weren’t there to watch Netflix, so not a huge thing.
- the apartment is a little dated and showing it’s age, beach towels are old and cheap, a few of the chairs at the dining table are a bit rickety and will likely need to be replaced soon
- street noise coming from Ala Wai Boulevard
