Lily and Bryan’s Airbnb was at a prime location where you can walk or drive shortly to Waikiki beach. It was also fairly easy to get to the highway. What we liked most about the location is that 7/11 is next to it and a great musubi place is around the corner. There’s a diner bar next to it and a restaurant bar as well. There’s a laundromat across the street next to another 7/11 - crazy how there’s two 7/11 within across the street of each other!
The reason why we booked this place was because of the parking spot included in the Airbnb. Any place near Waikiki charges parking and this had a designated spot. We had a 4-door Jeep and it fit, a little snug but it wasn’t that bad when we parked it - just have to be careful.
The amenities were great. We particularly liked that there’s a balcony as we sat there and ate our meals in some days and people watched. They also provided lots of towels, 2 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler for the beach, and snorkeling gear. One thing they could add in the future is beach towels.
Bed was very very comfy and soft! It was softer than our bed at home. Pillows were also very comfy as they were memory foam and the bedroom was very clean. There was AC in the bedroom which you turn off whenever you leave the apartment. There’s tv with cable in the room as well including the large mirror, closet, and a dresser.
The kitchen is small but we didn’t really cook. The kitchen came with stuff to use for cooking and eating in if you need that. They also provided grocery bags since they charge for bags everywhere in Oahu. There was a stove and a fridge and pantry. Living room was a good size with the tv with cable however, there’s no AC in the living room.
The bathroom was nice and it already had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, sunscreen, etc in the cabinet. Hairdryer was also included which was great and extra toilet rolls and towels. The water heater did break during our stay and because of the holiday, they couldn’t fix it so we took cold showers for 3 days which was not that bad but it was still cold. Lily was understanding and felt very bad for us and gave us credit for that. Lily was very responsive and she gave clear instructions for check in and check out.
We would come back here again and use this if we ever come back!
