Inna’s place in Ala Moana was very clean and attentively remodeled! It was great to be able to use new kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures. Everything we needed was provided, including all kitchenware, many sets of towels, and spare sheets/blankets. There were even extras such as beach towels, a beach chair, an umbrella, a snorkel set, and a bodyboard. It was a nice touch that some of the things were brand new (sheets, cooking pans, etc.).
My wife and I worked remotely from the condo for a month, and the WiFi speed was fine for us. The sliding barn doors were a nice divider for some privacy for the bedroom, but didn't do much to prevent noise. The sofa bed came in handy when we wanted to stretch out a bit, and both the sofa bed and full bed were comfortable. Overall, the space was a bit small but that is the tradeoff for being downtown in a convenient location, which is what we wanted.
Inna's place was centrally located and really feels like you are right in downtown. You get the cityscape view and not the ocean view, but that was fine for us. Downtown Honolulu and nearby Waikiki are both very walkable. There are three beaches within a 20 min walking radius (closest beach just down the street), and it's close to many shops and restaurants. If you have a rental car, the attached parking garage was almost always available during our stay, and you can snag $8 parking for 10 hours (great for getting back late at night and going back out early in the morning!).
Inna responded quickly to our questions. During our month-long stay, getting Amazon packages delivered was also easy and convenient.
While this is out of Inna’s control (and we know we are on a tropical island), we did want to mention that there were some cockroaches during our stay. Shortly after we arrived, Inna let us know she had some pest control done, which we believe helped the situation. We took out our trash every day and kept all food in the fridge, but the occasional one would still pop up. At least they were the small kind. Some people care more about this kind of thing (such as my wife), and thought it would’ve been nice to have a heads up beforehand. This was really our only issue with the apartment; everything else was perfect!
Overall a really pleasant stay. Very clean, modern, comfortable, and convenient location!
