Ssen and Norio met us in the lobby of the building at the designated time we all agreed upon. They were right on time, meeting us with big smiles. These two were very kind. We all went up to the room together. It's an older building that seems like more residents live there than tourists. You cannot even operate the elevator without an electronic fob. Between that and all the cameras, it felt very safe. When we got to the room, it was like you stepped into another world lol. Very cute, very clean.

Whenever I have traveled in the past, I always bring something to keep on my feet.... shoes/slippers/etc. There was a "please remove your shoes" sign right when you walked in, but I didn't hesitate. The whole place in completely new. And on top of it being new, you can tell that it's taken care of.

This unit was decorated very well. It does look exactly like the pictures. It seemed like the hosts didn't go cheap on the things they bought. Just as a super small example, I glanced at one of the pillow covers and it said DKNY. So clearly they didn't go to Wal-Mart to furnish this place. And after staying there a few days, yes I can confirm that the whole place was very comfortable. Funny as it sounds, we didn't mind spending some of our vacation in the hotel room.

Okay, the downside to the place--- I'd like the parking to be in the building simply for convenience sake, but it was not. The public parking area is less than a block away down into a parking garage for $21 day+night. Truthfully not that big of a deal, I just personally like things as simple and easy as possible. The A/C in the room could have been a tab colder, but in all fairness it was in the high 80s or even 90 degrees when we were there (not too typical for Honolulu).

All that being said, for the price, location, Ssen and Norio's kindness and accommodating personalities, we would highly recommend this place. Simply based upon price, this is the nicest/cleanest place I've ever stayed in Honolulu.
