James's place is probably the most well-equipped AirBnB I've ever stayed at as a solo traveller. It's really the perfect studio for short or long-term stays. For example, there were multiple bath and hand towels neatly stacked for my stay. An extra set of sheets. Beach gear such as chairs and an umbrella. The kitchen was fully equipped (salt, pepper, decent cookware, full sets of cutlery, paper towels, cleaning supplies). There were even laundry pods available (for use in the coin-op laundry on the ground floor).
Other pros of staying at James' place include:
- amazing location, just a short walk from Waikiki beach and the Waikiki commercial centre (lots of restaurants etc. -- please try Maguro Spot poke on the corner!)
- fantastic communication. I got a call from James the night before arrival, and he was also super quick to answer any questions I had via the AirBnB messaging system
- very responsive to feedback: I mentioned to James that it'd be great to have more clothes storage space, and after I left the AirBnB he sent me a photo with showing a small chest of drawers that have been installed
The only small issue I had -- which was not James' fault at all -- is that there is a bit of noise from the street and from the neighbour's TV. The neighbour always switched off the TV by midnight though. That said, I only used my earplugs once in ten days, so it's not bad (and/or maybe I was just super tired from the day).
