My partner and i thoroughly enjoyed jerry’s place! there were many perks to help us feel comfortable and at ease during our stay.
— The location is probably the best part about the listing. we were in a primary area that was surrounded by all the popular waikiki spots. a 2 minute walk from a 5 star coffee shop that my partner and i frequented daily during our stay, 10 minute walk away from the beach, < 10 minutes away from the royal hawaiian center, surrounded by dining and bars…I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.
— The apartment had a plethora of amenities to make our stay feel like home and our outings worry-free. amongst these things were nice beach towels, a variety of sunscreens (more than you could ever need even), snorkeling gear, and a beach umbrella. as someone who typically rents gear from local surf shops, i found this to be a great time and money saver. other surprising finds were a hair straightener, workout equipment, and various cooking supplies if you wanted to take advantage of the full kitchen. this didn’t feel like those bare-backed airbnb’s where the hosts cut corners and are cheap, jerry takes the time, effort, and costs to help his guests feel comfy. i felt like we were well taken care of!
— The space: i enjoyed how spacious it was. the listing comfortably houses two but could accommodate 3 if needed. for a couple, it wasn’t cramped in any way and was roomy! it has a nice, modern look that felt like a perfect getaway. the room felt bright, airy, clean, and organized. i also had a particular adoration for the balcony overlooking the city, i’ll remember the view.
Some cons:
— Air conditioning was particularly loud. this made it difficult for my partner to sleep on some nights. not egregiously loud, but moreso could be an obstacle for a light sleeper.
— TV could be more modern. while trying to access streaming services like Netflix, we were hit with a “no signal,” screen for a while before hopping on cable. this listing could really benefit from a Fire stick or Roku.
Overall Jerry was a wonderful host with a wonderful place. he replied to our many inquiries swiftly so we never felt left out in the dark. we had a worry-free stay, which is pretty valuable for airbnb’s. i would easily book again next time i’m on the island and without a doubt recommend this place to my friends.
