the location of the airbnb was great. close to many convenient places in waikiki too, such as 7 eleven, laundromat, and the mall. however, the day of check in was stressful due to response or no communication whatsoever from the host. we requested to check in early, since the listing states they try to accommodate requests. unfortunately, we were ignored and did not receive a response the day of. contradicting herself, because the listing claims she could be reached within a matter of minutes. we would have understood if there was no chance of an early check-in. but the fact we didn’t receive any response, kind of left us waiting, unsure of what to plan. she never replied til this day.
the parking was good due to having a place to park at all times without charge or risk of towing. however, it was a 5 minute walk from the unit. the good thing, they did have a loading zone in front of the apartment complex.
the apartment itself was ok. could use some deep cleaning- as there was mold growing on the bathroom ceiling, bathtub, and kitchen sink. also, the bathroom sink was clogged since day one. we ended up having to use the kitchen sink. we did our best to make the unit not as humid, but we understand that could be our of our control. the beds were a bit uncomfortable and the bedroom was not as pictured. though it has 3 beds, it does not house 5 adults comfortably. Especially since the dinner table only has 4 seats. This unit would be more ideal for a smaller group up to 4 adults. there was not enough resources provided for more than 4 people. there was not enough toilet paper, paper towels, or blankets. the outside patio chairs were ripped, and the toaster stopped working on us. also, the beach chairs provided had mold growing on them. overall, ok stay, and gets the job done if you’re looking for a cheap place. (it wasn’t cheap though)
i recommend taking these things into consideration before booking.
