The unit is EXACTLY like the pictures, which was nice to not have any surprises. Fantastic location right in the heart of Waikiki. That being said, it is VITAL for you to bring earplugs. Between the noise coming from the street (music blasting from cars parked below, and karaoke down the road at full volume) and the people living/staying above us constantly moving their chairs/furniture around at all hours of the night, ear plugs are an absolute necessity. With them in, everything is perfect! Unit is clean and my husband and I were able to enjoy a lovely 4 days/nights away on gorgeous Oahu. Check in process was very easy. No complaints! Stay here! :) If you are planning on cooking, you might want to check the cabinets first, as when we stayed, there was no salt/pepper/cooking spray/sugar. Totally not a big deal, but something that matters if you are planning on preparing meals! Thanks to Budi for welcoming us into his/Matthew's home. We had a lovely stay - you really cannot beat the location!
