This condo is in walking distance to the main strip of Waikiki. The hosts offered to hold our luggage for an early check-in which ultimately was not needed but the thought was appreciated.
As noted in the listing, there is a window A/C unit which seems unusually louder than other window A/Cs that I have been around. I am a heavy sleeper but this kept me up at night - the hosts suggested that we adjust the settings a certain way but ironically it’s what we had it at already and it didn’t make a difference.
Michael offered to drop off a portable fan which we did end up using every night instead of the window A/C. The fan was also loud but nothing compared to before. My ear plugs were able to block out the sound of the fan - just not the window A/C.
Positive notes: Communication was smooth and the check-in process was a breeze.
I’m rating my stay 5 stars overall because I understand how Airbnb‘s rating system can seem unfair in the grand scheme of things, but I wouldn’t stay here again, and I’d understand if they wouldn’t want to host me again either.
