I've stayed at Richards hostel for four weeks and I've seen both a single and a double room. The room I was first placed in did not exactly match the one which was advertised here on Airbnb, but that was not problem for me, since both rooms were comparable.

When I arrived my personla room was clean and everything was in order. However the bathroom and kitchen area was in a little disorder. However, since I shared the apartment with two further parties, this was not solely Richards fault. Plus my standards might be quite sophisticated. In the beginning, the kitchen did not provide sufficient flatfare for all parties, but upon my request, Richard solved this issue in a timely manner.

There could have been more cleaning in these areas as well.

However, Richard made great efforts to solve everything once you contacted him (!) about it.

The Ala Moana Beach Park is about 10-15 minutes on foot from Richard's place. This beach is less crowded than Waikiki Beach and therefore a nice alternative. From my experience there were also more turtles on Ala Moana Beach Park. (I saw 2 at this one and none at Waikiki). From there you'll walk another 10 Minutes to Waikiki Beach.

Richard's place also has a great infrastructure, as there is a Safeways on one- and an 7/11 on the other corner of the street. Furthermore, there is a laundry service right next to the 7/11.

The major Buslines also have their stops right next to Richards place, thus it's easy to get arround.

Concluding I would definitely consider to stay at this place again.
Feel free to contact me about further recommendations.
