I would definitely recommend this place. Here are the good and the bad, starting with the good as it far outweighs the bad. WARNING - The bed is the MOST comfortable bed I have ever slept in - incredibly difficult to leave. It shouldn't be legal. The location is mostly good. Everywhere in Waikiki has easy accessibility to the beach, but the little locally owned grocery store right next door was ultra-convenient, and friendly. The staff that does laundry downstairs during the day were super nice -they actually helped me move when they saw me making my third trip hauling things. The kitchen is really well appointed. Somebody knew what they were doing when they were setting it up and cared about it. That was important to me. The management was very communicative. The air-con was having problems and they actually replaced it. So now there is a brand new one there. Oh, and no roaches! This is Hawaii, so that's pretty amazing. I was there for five weeks and I think I saw only one once. Overall, I was quite happy there and easily recommend it.
Now the bad. I teach online so internet is essential. I tested internet speed multiple times over the first few days and I kid you not, it registered 660 KBPS, and sometimes it wouldn't even register and I was like two feet from the router. I had to cancel a class one day which really threw me. I went out and bought an ethernet cable and it was consistently over 100 MBPS from then on. Ans it's not my laptop because I tested it other places. The transmitter in the router is clearly wonky, but apparently they have had similar problems in other units. I'm just glad I was able to solve it because that really would have been a problem.
Overall, a thumbs up. Thanks Gabby and Rita!
