Great location! We were so glad to be within walking distance of the beaches and shopping in Honolulu. The room was wonderfully updated; the kitchen well appointed and the bathroom was great. There were plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, and other linens - plus laundry detergent for the coin operated laundry room on our floor. Everything was exactly like the picture shows. We were very pleased to see that there was even a beach umbrella and chairs available for our use while there! Having a covered and secure parking space was a real lifesaver.
The drawbacks were a little odd: the supporting legs of the bedframe kept falling off - the bed itself wasn't constructed properly and we had to be very careful getting in and out of bed. We let the host know and were told that maintenance came by to fix the legs, but I'm not sure it was actually taken care of. While there, the water was unexpectedly shut off for a few hours. I'm glad we had showered and were on our way out the door when we discovered this! One of the nights we were there, we experienced an emergency evacuation; fire trucks, police vehicles, and blaring alarms. It was quite unnerving! Unfortunately our host either missed the texted question about the late night evacuation, or ignored it completely because we never knew exactly what caused the alarm.
All in all it was a nice experience, but it wasn't the relaxing stay I expected for the price we paid. Unsteady bed, unreliable water, and unknown evacuations put a damper on our stay.
