An interesting experience staying at Joni’s place. The apartment looked just like the photos, and you’re right on the water. The building from the outside was definitely not what I expected- they’re doing some pretty major construction at the moment, noise begins at about 8am. It’s in a very rural part of the island which is nice, but the bedroom is on the road side of the building so you’re going to get a lot of highway noise. I did love that the elevator requires a key fob on the ground level and there’s 24 hour security in the parking lot.
My only issue with the whole stay was the fact that the kitchen is absolutely infested with cockroaches. They were on the counter, in the cupboards, in my shoes at one point. The main colony seemed to live in the dishwasher, so we had to hand wash everything. I understand that pests come with high rise apartments, even the state of Hawaii is buggier than others, it was just way too much for me.
