The Airbnb is literally 1 block from the beach (Like stated on the listing, I believe) this Airbnb is perfect for a solo traveler, I came here alone for an interview and don’t know if my husband and I would’ve fit comfortably on the full size bed. You do have to walk up four sets of stairs everyday but I didn’t mind because it kept me active while being here. However, if you’re planning on bringing a lot of belongings I wouldn’t as you have to carry it up the four set of stairs and not much room in the Airbnb. Mark was very kind as well, when I asked him if they happened to have an iron at the location he made sure there was one there for me.
Pros:
- Location
- Price
- Convenience
- Great over all customer service
- Great experience
Cons:
- If you don’t like to climb stairs, might not be for you.
- It was very loud at night, I had a hard time sleeping because of all the noise. (Even at 3 in the morning!) I forget that Waikiki is a place where a lot of tourist go and party so I think anywhere in the area was affected by it, even the hotels. Luckily the AC unit was right next to bed so I used it as noise cancellation.
- There is a latch that locks the door on the inside, when I first walked into the room the latch was pushed forward and was very difficult to move, I would notice when I was returning to the Airbnb that the latch would sometimes close on its own so if I wasn’t inside I wouldn’t be able to open the door. I was returning from my second interview when I couldn’t get into the Airbnb, I had reached out to Mark and the response time was 15 mins and I waited over an hour for the handy man, finally I was able to get in on my own but not fun if you’re trying to enjoy the rest of your evening.
Overall I had a great experience! It’s very convenient staying literally a block from the beach, and when I didn’t want to travel the island after my interviews I would change into my beach clothes and hang at Waikiki because it was so convenient.
