Overall a great value and great location if you want to stay in Waikiki! Just a couple minute walk to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. Amy’s place is in an older building, but her condo seems to be newly renovated with a clean look and style. It was very clean inside too with new towels. The beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards were a great bonus!
The check in process (as others have mentioned) was a little weird. When getting the key from the other street I was cat called by hotel employees in the middle of the day so it was a bit uncomfortable and I wouldn’t feel safe walking through there by myself. Also we weren’t fully aware in the beginning that parking in the garage is first come first serve, otherwise you have to park on the street, but we never had a problem with it. Just be aware of that otherwise parking is really expensive in the area. Additionally, this building is sandwiched between two hostels, and the room is on the second floor above some kind of hostel lounge, so at night it was quite loud with young kids down there socializing. We also were using the kitchen appliances and the AC unit at the same time and managed to trip the breaker, and the panel to turn the power back on is in the neighbors unit next door and she wasn’t home and the property manager didn’t have a key, so we couldn’t get it back on for a few hours. The property manager explained that since it’s an older building, these rooms used to be combined, but proper permitting should require the panels to be accessible to those who live in the unit so this seems fishy. Could be different in Hawaii tho. Amy was very responsive when all this happened to resolve the issue so we were appreciative of that!
Again, overall great value for great location and it is a lovely updated little studio. Thanks Amy!
