Marcela was really quick at responding which is really really helpful. We had a minor issue with checking in as the place wasn't ready on time. It normally wouldn't be an issue as it was only really a bit less than an hour, however we had a toddler and an infant with us which changes things a bit.
The building itself is quite run down however this seems to be standard for 90% of residential buildings in Honolulu however one thing that was quite annoying (which was no fault of the host at all), was that the bedroom we slept in had a louvred window that faced the main walkway to all the apartment entrances, and even at 2am etc, people walking to their apartments would talk loudly as they walked past and on busy nights, this can be a nightmare for light sleepers. The sound travels straight through the window as they're louvred, so they're not sealed. We had 4 adults, a toddler and an infant and there was definitely enough room for us to live comfortably for 6 days.
To conclude, if the apartment was to have a star rating, it'd be something like a 2.5 star hotel, however unless you pay thousands a night that's what you can expect for honolulu. In fact the price we paid was pretty good value for money considering the other options. I think next time i'd probably try to pay more to stay somewhere nicer, but if you're on a budget and dont mind a dated fitout then this place will be more than enough. The location is excellent too as there was so much within walking distance.
