The good:
-	If you’re looking to be central to all downtown has to offer and plan to mostly walk/uber this is a great location! You are right next to Waikiki beach and close to restaurants, nightlife, etc.
-	The building staff was super nice and helpful, and there is security and keyfob elevators.
-	The unit itself was very nicely decorated – it was cozy and a good fit for a quarantine – having a nice balcony definitely helped and the inside was substantially newer and nicer than the rest of the building.
-	The wi-fi was fast, there was plenty of room for bags, and the view was lovely – all great if you’re stuck indoors for a bit!
The not ideal (for me):
-	Older building – for my stay, that meant water spilling from the toilet pipes into the room for a night. The toilet also kept running almost non-stop during my stay. The owner came by to help once quarantine was done, but said it was probably just the age of the building. Not ideal if you’re spending a ton of time at home (and be careful putting stuff on the ground in the bathroom area just in case it happens again).
-	No parking in the building – closest parking is 2-hour max, and most affordable parking was $1 per hour and about three blocks away – alright in the day, adds up quick, and wasn’t my favorite at night (there is closer parking but it was outrageously expensive to use overnight).
-	Bugs – again, it wasn’t the owner’s fault – it’s an island, it’s an older building – but worth noting to be careful with food storage, and that you’ll probably see a few regardless- inside and outside of the unit.
-	Mail is not encouraged – I won’t say it’s not allowed – just be aware you have to talk to the owner first! And because the unit mailbox has a vacant note in it, if you do send packages they may be sent back home.
-	If you’re cooking, plan for simple meals (small kitchen with a hotplate, as pictured in the listing). And make sure you bring spices with you or plan to buy them when you get here.
Overall, for what I paid I was glad to have a place close to downtown with a view, and appreciated the owner working with me when things came up (mail, toilet, etc.).
