GREAT location, literal steps away from the beach. Lots of amenities within immediate walking distance. View is so beautiful! Diamond head, trees, the water and I can even see the flamingos every morning at the Honolulu Zoo.
The place itself is also great. Clean, a little small but adequate and is plenty if you traveling solo or plan to be out and about with your fellow travelers anyway.
I worked remote from this location for part of my stay and the internet was great the first half of the stay, a bit spotty for zoom calls with camera on toward the latter part but assuming that is due to demand (closer to the weekend, harder it’d have to work due to increase in travelers I assume) but it was never unusable and I always had a connection good enough to do what I needed.
I did have a friend join me for part of my stay and asked for an extra cot/bed to be setup which was very nice to have available - the main bed is definitely a bit too tight for two full sized people in my opinion. This worked out well and we were both comfortable during our stay.
The blankets are thin and lighter weight due to the climate which makes total sense, but I sleep with a weighted blanket at home and realized the lack of weight to the blankets meant I wasn’t sleeping as well as I had wanted. Super appreciate the accommodation on the extra blanket, that was so nice.
My only nitpicky things: No screens on the window. I really loved having the windows open to avoid using the A/C and hear the sounds of the birds and ocean, but there aren’t any screens and one time a big wasp came floating in that I had to chase out of the room. Surprising it made it up to the 8th floor! But it happened. Screens would be nice to avoid any bugs flying in and to take advantage of fresh air. Also the cot was decent and my travel companion found it tolerable, but I could see someone with back issues or that are sensitive might not like the cot. Would avoid it if you have back troubles.
Again, these are super nitpicky though so don’t let it deter you! This place and the hosts were fantastic. I would absolutely stay here again!
