Renting an airbnb, especially for a long term is scary, since you're stuck with it once you get there if things aren't what you thought they would be so I try to write detailed reviews.
The great
- you can't beat the location! Easy walking distance to everything, including Waikiki Beach.
- the building is clean and secure. Key required to enter the building and the elevator.
- The apartment is keyless entry and has a chain. I bring my own other security measures.
- The apartment was immaculate, which I don't take lightly. I walked around in white socks and they stayed pretty cleaned. I'm confident they sanitized, but I always do my own.
- There was plenty of cleaning supplies.
- The parking space is perfect! If you plan to venture outside the Waikiki area, a car is needed.
The good
- The apartment is smaller than it appears on the picture. I wouldn't have more than 2 people there unless kids. The kitchen was more than adequate.
The balcony was a decent size.
- The area is pretty loud. Garbage trucks at 530am and constant sirens make it hard to leave the patio doors open.
Needs work
- Need a real bed with a new mattress. The bedframe is that of a rollaway bed.
For consideration
- Consider the number of guests and the length of stay in determining the amount of linen to provide. Although there is laundry on every floor, I don't want to do it every few days because i was only provided one set of sheets and towels.
- Consider a swivel mount for the TV. You can't watch it from the sofa and the chairs to the table are not comfortable for long term sitting.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Matt's place!
