It’s pretty much as described and a much cheaper option than the waterfront hotels. If you’re not going to spend a lot of time at your lodgings, this is just fine.
Pros:
-nice corner view for beach and mountains
- coffee and basic kitchen amenities were stocked
-close to Ala Moana, Waikiki beach, and restaurants
-some beach gear is provided (snorkels, masks, beach chairs)
-couldn’t hear neighbors at all
-host was quickly responsive to texts
Cons:
-bed frame is extremely creaky and loud. Really needs to be tightened or something.
-mattress could use an upgrade; my partner’s back was in pain after two nights.
-the alternate bed is not a pull-out couch, it’s a futon with metal bars forming a cross in the middle with no padding over them. Putting the “floor mattress” on top after we found it the second day helped.
-if street noises keep you awake even through earplugs and the sound of the fan or AC, this place is not for you. Some nights were relatively quiet, some nights were filled with the sounds of revving motorcycles and police sirens.
