I enjoyed my stay at this place.
Pros: Location, free parking, price, and the view
We were located near all the good stuff in Waikiki. We also rented a car, which I highly recommend. We drove everywhere so we didn’t pay for any tours. We basically did our own tours using advice from locals and Google. We arrived on Friday and were able to watch the fireworks from Waikiki beach from inside of the apartment. That view is amazing. Also, the bed is really comfy.
Cons: Dust, Elevator
These cons are minor in comparison to the Pros which is why I would still recommend this place to people. I just want people to be prepared for what they will encounter.
First, the dust. This place gets dusty. I spoke with Alyssa about it and she thinks it’s blowing in from the air conditioner and offered to come clean it for us. I have a dust allergy so this may affect me more than others. There is dust and debris accumulated on the sides of the bed inside the bed frame. There is also dust on some of the surfaces. My allergies went off when we first arrived. Once I grabbed some more allergy meds, I was fine and it didn’t take away from our stay. Perhaps, Alyssa will have this taken care of before anyone else’s stay since I did flag it with her. I just wanted to make note in case anyone has a similar allergy. Just bring some meds.
Also, there is only one working elevator right now so it can take a while to get to you and may be crowded once you’re on. Just leave a little early if you are trying to make a deadline/reservation. Waiting on the elevator could make you late. We didn’t have any issues though.
Overall, I recommend Alyssa’s place. We had a great time in Hawaii. If we return, I would stay here again.
