The place was clean but furniture and kitchenstuff a little old (no critisim), the location was really good, although it is not 10-12 mins away from Waikiki (more like 15-20 minutes if you walk fast!)
On the negative side: the host was a little grumpy (we only had contact with daniel and no contact with Chifumi at any time). He did not consider us as grown-ups at times ("I know where you live, i'll be up there sooner then you think"; after we had a funny converstion (with laughter) while windows were open at 9pm, which apperantly he did not like). This seems kinda odd, because he did not pay any attention toward quietness, e. g. when he left for work in the early mornings and jumpstarted(!) his V8 pickup so the whole block was awake! To be fair he helped us out at times too. E. g. he recommended a good sportsbar in Waikiki or put us in contact with a friend of him who happened to be an excellent surfcoach with his store right around the block (RV'S Ocean -> would highly recommend if you want to surf. Ask the host for Roy!).
The host lives below the apartment. His dogs (little chiuaua's) are annoying to say the least (barking all day; not kidding!). This may sound fussy form my side but belive me after a couple of days it will get to you!

Overall, i would still recommend this place but considering my small samplesize of visits with airbnb he ranks last with hostpitality and friendliness. If you appreciate a good link with your host, consider another place.
