Pros:
Rob was very friendly and welcoming. He was also quick to respond to texts and phone calls which was very helpful. He met us in the lobby when we arrived and was available throughout our stay.

The main advantage to this apartment is its location - very close to the beach, transportation, and food (both restaurants and convenience stores). Most of Waikiki is within walking distance and there is a terrace as pictured that allows a great view of Diamond Head and the beach.

The apartment also has a number amenities that are quite helpful (fridge, microwave, kitchen sink, and heat plate). These amenities come in handy if you'd like to make your own food here and there or want to store some cold drinks.

There was also a beach chair that came in handy - we also bought a beach mat and beach umbrella that we left behind so all of these items should be helpful for those headed to the beach.

Lastly, there is paid, on-site parking with in/out privileges - compared to many surrounding areas, the daily parking fee is relatively inexpensive and this is a huge plus if you are renting a car like we did to explore the island.

In these respects, the apartment is as described in the listing.

Cons:
Please be aware that the A/C unit and A/C units of surrounding units are quite noisy which may cause trouble when attempting to sleep - the apartment itself does not have typical glass windows that close and would generally provide some level of buffer against outside noise so keep that in mind.

Compared to the pictures, the apartment is much more dated than we had anticipated - perhaps our expectations were too high based on the pics, but as the listing describes it as newly remodeled and the pics seem to support that, we were underwhelmed with the space relative to expectations set by the pics.

While towels/blankets/linens were provided and we were assured that they were all clean (and I don't doubt that they were, in fact, washed prior to our stay), all three appear to be older and heavily used - probably time to for new towels/blankets/linens and a new mattress in our opinion.

Lastly, please be aware that the pool area is right next to a restaurant's seating area (great burger place though), and is currently undergoing renovations that limit use.

To wrap up, our experience overall was satisfactory - neither especially great nor poor. If living accommodations themselves aren't the most important to you, this apartment is pretty good value due to its location and amenities and for that reason this may be a good fit for you, but for those who might be thinking this is a like-new remodel, I would suggest tempering your expectations.
