We've just returned from a wonderful week in Hawaii and are very pleased with our decision to stay in this Waikiki Banyan condo. We typically stay in hotels, but as a family of four that includes two teenagers, I knew we needed a bit more space. I'm very happy with my first airbnb booking! Before we arrived, the owners provided a wealth of information to help make our vacation a success. The condo is in a great location - two quick blocks to the beach and all of the Waikiki fun, but just a bit removed from the most crowded sections. After long days spent enjoying the island, we were so grateful to come home to this clean and comfortable space. (beds are very comfortable!!) I was also very appreciative of the many amenities available to us - snorkeling gear, beach chairs and towels, insulated beach bags for food...even beach toys. If we'd had to rent all this gear, it would have added to our overall vacation cost. We were also grateful not to have to pay hotel parking fees. We rented a car and explored the whole island; the parking garage was well-maintained and had plenty of spaces available. The high-rise seemed to be primarily full of tourists on holiday, but we never had to wait for an elevator, and it was super quiet (particularly our floor). Also, the coffee shop downstairs is great!!
The owners regularly checked in on us to see if we were comfortable and needed anything. I was very appreciative of this regular communication. I would wholeheartedly recommend booking this unit!
