Just completed a one week stay here. Karina is a super host for a reason, as she is efficient and prompt with her communication. Every question I asked was answered easily within the hour, many times even faster.
The unit description is accurate BUT I recommend you carefully read the details. I needed to work for part of the time and really could have used a table. There is a portable dinner tray that I made work for me so it is doable but, once I got there, I realized that I had missed information. Example: There is no cable. You can catch a few shows via antennae but, if you want to watch a movie, you will need to utilize streaming. Again, that was listed. I just missed it.
The place is small and great for a solo traveller but two people would be fine, assuming there isn't a ton of luggage. Karina has thoughtfully included several things to make your stay here pleasant. Example: I cooked five of the nights I stayed there. Loved that the unit has an electric kettle because it helped me multi-task. Also, the bathroom storage has several items to cover your beach day (chair, beach mat, umbrella, boogie board, etc).
Location is fabulous. Very safe. Close to many key areas: Ala Moana Mall (if you forget something, forget ABC, just go get it at Target), Ala Moana Park and the Lagoon, the beach, Hilton Hawaii Village (which has an awesome firework display each Friday night for free) is across the street, and more. The condo building is nestled in between two bus stops so catching the bus is easy peasy and quite pleasant to use, if you don't have a car. There is a Hui rental car station and Bikki rental station on Ala Wai Blvd, which is one street over. Or, you can be most places within 10 minutes, either direction, via foot.
Speaking of walking, I love exploring via foot. I walked most of the days I was in town. On a whim, I found a weekend car rental at a pretty good rate and took it. That said, parking is brutal. The main street parking is on Ala Wai or Hobron. Out of the two, Ala Wai is the better option and those choices will be slim. It's free so 1) everybody wants it, and unregulated so 2) it is common for spare cars--that are never going to move--to be parked on the street. It is not unusual for people to sit at the end of the street and just wait for someone to leave. If you've got that kind of time, go for it. I found parking on Friday night. On Saturday and Sunday night, I parked across the street at the Harbor. You can park at the mall during the day for free so I never spent more than $12 for overnight parking and I found that more than reasonable.
Little notes: Internet reliability/speed. I got kicked off frequently and, in my recent experience, speed was inconsistent. Since I had to work part of the time, I decided against streaming so that I could save connection for what I needed to get done. A couple of the days I utilized a hotspot. The condo pictures are mostly accurate. There are no longer curtains in the unit. They have been replaced with these really fun blinds. However, there is a gap between the blinds and the window that gives a straight shot outside--which means that there is a straight shot inside. Just be aware when you are in bed or getting dressed, etc. Also, there is no bathtub; just a shower.
All in all, I had a lovely stay. Even with the suggestions, I totally got my money's worth. If you are a solo traveller or a budget traveler, absolutely give Karina's place consideration.
