We stayed in this apartment for a month in Nov. The location is the best that I could imagine – takes 3 min. walk to Waikiki beach, 1 min. walk to the bus stop for multiple bus lines. We didn’t need to rent a car, since the Honolulu bus system was rated the best in the nation, it reaches not only every corner of the city, but the entire island of Oahu. A monthly bus pass of $70 saved us a lot on car rental, gas, parking fees and driving effort. Siting right on the lanai (balcony with roof) of the apartment we enjoyed watching the perfect view of sunrise above Diamond Head which is an iconic landmark of Hawaii.
The apartment is sparkling clean, the decor is neat and beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and eating all meals. The bathroom is nicely arranged, has a comfortable shower with sufficient pressure on hot and cold water. The host provided enough supplies for kitchen, shower, cleaning, and laundry. The apartment is very conveniently located inside the building for laundry and garbage disposal. It has high speed Internet that enabled us to work off-site, easy to connect and didn’t encounter any issues. The air condition works perfectly. The check-in and check-out process was easy. Clare, the host, is very friendly and thoughtful for her guests. She provided everything that we have thought of as well as those we never thought about. Her responses were always prompt, and provided every detail info we needed from shopping to sightseeing to local activities and even possible car rental options just in case we needed. We’ve been using Airbnb for years, this is the host that I’d give my highest rating, not only for the beautiful and comfortable apartment, but also for her kind and caring way of treating her guests! This month-long stay made it feel like our second home - would definitely rent it again!
