The apartment was in an amazing location in Laie. It was super close to everything such as Foodland the grocery store, Hukilau marketplace, the North Shore, amazing food and Laie Point.
However, I believe the pictures of the unit posted are from when the apartment was first renovated. The apartment and the grounds are now dated. The curtains are stained and weathered, the rug in the apartment is dingy, utensils and towels/linens are not as clean etc. A lot of this is most likely because the home is so close to the water but, there have been no updates made since the first renovation.
Upon check-in we also noticed quite a few bugs. At first we thought they were regular bugs (we are on an island of course) but upon closer inspection, we found that they were very small cockroaches. We were able to get rid of most of them and didn’t see them for the remainder of the trip.
When I asked about the bugs, I didn’t get a response but I believe we were right about them as on the last day of our trip, the guy came to fumigate the unit.
This was unfortunate as we have a 7 month old baby. We were told that it was harmless to infants and adults but, we were still worried.
All in all, we were very happy with the location of the apartment. However, if the pictures were more up to date and showed the current state of the apartment, I probably wouldn’t have booked it.
