I had a great stay at Colby’s! The room was cozy, you wake up to an amazing sunrise view of the Ala Wai Canal every morning, the sunlight beaming in. The bed was so comfy. The room had all amenities as listed and more! (It had beach towels and a hot plate stove if you want to cook.) It was a very comfortable and affordable stay. The building is partly a hotel too, so the Airbnb felt like a hotel stay without daily house keeping, lol. It is located in Waikiki, on the east end near the Ala Wai Canal and near the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It is about a 15-20 min walk from Waikiki beach/busy Waikiki area. If you want to be close to the heart of Waikiki, perhaps book another spot. I booked intentionally a little aways from Waikiki but everything was still in walking distance. I walked to the beach side of the Hilton Hawaiian Village and that was enjoyable! Up close where the fireworks are shot too from the Hilton every Friday! It was so amazing!!! (About 10-15 min walk) If you want to rent a car, the building offers smart car rentals, the most affordable I’ve seen on the island. They had a 3-day rental special, you have to pay about $20 parking per day to park in the garage.
Colby was very responsive via messaging and even called me once to follow up on a concern. Check in is easy (via lock box) and security is around constantly. Colby’s got a pretty thorough Airbnb process, with an interactive pdf of suggestions and information. I’d smell cigarette smoke off and on during my stay via from the bathroom fan and notified Colby. He tried to help and notified security. I really appreciate his responsiveness! Colby is a great host!!! It was an amazing stay!!! Thank you again, Colby!!!
