The apartment was located in a little bit if a shady area. Homeless lunatics wandering the street outside yelling and screaming was a daily part of our routine. There was also the sound of ambulances and fire trucks to serenade us to sleep. The apt is close to Waikiki beach but the building is dank and run down. I was not thrilled with the roaches that greeted me as I opened the microwave door each morning or the kitchen cabinets. I understand that Hawaii has a lot of roaches on the Island we can’t always control what our neighbors do. It is extremely difficult to control each facet of an apartment especially when you are out of town. The cleaning service was mainly to blame for the bugs.I entered the apartment and opened a cabinet door to find opened chips and other snacks left over from the last guest. There was grime and filth next to the garbage, fridge and stove. The cabinets were sticky and the counters weren’t properly wiped down. The one good thing I can say about my experience was that Joanna and Dave were sympathetic to our plight and send an exterminator and an extra deep cleaning service. I wish I would have chosen a different apartment.
