Overall, I feel like this listing was exactly what I needed. It was only 4 minutes walking distance from Waikiki beach, but not right there on Kalakaua where it can be super noisy and congested. This location is on the corner of Kuhio and Ohua, which is literally the next street over which is parallel to Kalakaua.
It was in walking distance of everything Waikiki has to offer. I actually walked to Diamond head, hiked up the crater, then walked back. I believe it was only 1.8 miles, maybe even less from the hotel to diamond head crater!
Ala Moana, another popular location was about 2 miles away. I rented a car, but I honestly feel like this location is so close to everything you really don’t need a car.
The home definitely was very dated, and the furnishing was dated, but honestly we only used it to sleep and eat a few meals in so it was perfect for us.
If you are one that cares about stuff like decor or interior design, this location might not be for you. Lol
The home was clean and tidy which I appreciated, especially with children in my party.
I had some issues getting a hold of Gary when there was some confusion over two different emails I received about the code to the lock box and there wasn’t a washer and dryer inside the home as originally list when I made my reservation, which he had since corrected.
We stayed almost 2 weeks and so we obviously had
Towels and clothes that needed to be washed. I think if you are staying as long as I did, laundry facility was my most Difficult challenge staying here. Each floor only has 1 washer and 1 dryer that is coin operated for all the residents on that floor… ugh!
And as most average people, we would spend the day out and then come in the evenings so most of the time the 1 washer and 1 dryer was occupied so I had to stay up until crazy hours like midnight before the washer would be open for me to use! This was the worst! I was so so tired after a day of play in the Hawaii Sun and I can tell you, staying up that late was the worst!!!
But other than those two issues, this listing was great!
