We loved staying here! The Airbnb was very clean and no bugs! Whew. The bed was surprisingly comfortable but I did feel a slight dip in the mattress from other patrons staying there. Air conditioning worked great and pretty quiet apartment. Occasionally you’ll hear the loud drunks outside but not often. There was also large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was great. They do have sand castle and inflatable tube toys to borrow along with a beach umbrella and 2 chairs. It’s a 10 min walk to the beach which isn’t bad at all but I’d probably like to stay even closer so I can get quicker access to the beach especially if you’re carrying a lot of things. You’re also located to many different restaurants so we ended up eating out all the time and didn’t use the kitchen. The kitchen surprisingly had ample supply of pans and pots. Only a few seasonings like salt and pepper and soy sauce. Plus steak sauce. I think it’s from previous people who stayed there.
The ramp to the parking spot is on seaside which is a one way street. When you’re first coming to the apartment be sure to slow down because you can easily miss it then you’d have to circle back around. The parking ramp acts as both an entrance and exit which I could imagine being pretty stressful if someone was trying to get out while you’re trying to get in but luckily we didn’t have any problems.
After spending time in Waikiki it is definitely a huge must to have your own parking spot or not have a car in Waikiki at all.
The only cons I would list are:
1. No beach towels and only two bath towels to use for the entire stay. There were extra towels but you’d have to be charged $20 to use them, so we ended up not using any towels at the beach.
3. Parking spot was very very tight. Glad it was free but if you’re not a seasoned driver then getting into the right spot might be stressful.
Overall we enjoyed the stay and would stay here again.
