Take's place was awesome!! Location wise, it has all the conveniences of being in Waikiki while at the same time being a peaceful and quiet place to rest after a day out. It's close to the beach, Ala Moana park, great shopping, bars, coffee shops, and many great food options. There's an ABC store right across the street, a grocery store a couple blocks away, and the Ala Moana Mall just a quick walk away! Obviously being in Hawaii, we wanted to be out and about, Take's place served as the perfect home base for our day trips to all the other parts of the island.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 weeks and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even with the two of us, the condo was spacious enough for the entire time and provided everything we needed and more to be comfortable. The whole place was incredibly clean, the kitchen and bathroom well-stocked, and laundry easily accessible (literally next door). The bed was super comfortable and the sheets and bedding were nice and soft -- I honestly had some of my best night's sleep in a long time. Even on days that we stayed in, we enjoyed reading from the wide variety of books available, watching the smart TV, and listening to music on the record player. We even cooked a few meals in the fully equipped kitchen! During our stay, we worked remotely a few days and I can say that the WiFi was 10/10. On top of all the amenities, the space itself was really well-decorated. It's filled with bespoke art, funky mirrors, lots of wooden elements, and cool plant cuttings. I can tell Take spent a lot of time and put a lot of thought in selecting the furniture and decor for this place in order to create such a cozy vibe.
Take was a super responsive and helpful host. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and he even offered a whole list of recommendations for food and drinks around the area.
If you're looking for a place to stay in Honolulu, look no further because this. is. it. I honestly had such a good stay and I feel so rejuvenated. Next time I'm in town, I know where I'll be staying! Mahalo Take for sharing your beautiful home with us!
