Overall we had a good stay, there are just a few points that were an issue. If you plan on driving there, expect 0 parking. I’ve traveled across the entire globe and never had parking been such a nightmare as in Waikiki. There was a miscommunication and we assumed the Airbnb had a parking garage but we were mistaken. The host tried to help us find parking but after 2h and without luck, we had to park across the street at the hotel for $50 a day!!! We stayed 7 days. The Airbnb was still dirty from the previous guest (empty bottles, dust, sand and hair under the bed and on the floor) once we saw this we decided to get fresh sheets and towels and have the floors re-cleaned so we had to pay an extra $85 cleaning fee and the host didn’t address the issue until after we brought it up and just addressed the sand, not the rest. You will be a block away from the beach, so yes, it’s almost impossible to keep sand out, but a vacuum will do the job. Heads up, the bathroom is tiny and if you are built a bit bigger, you may have issues moving around in the bathroom. The Airbnb is about 200sq feet total. Bad costumer service is a reoccurring theme in Waikiki, regardless of a 5 star restaurant or the corner store. Mask mandates are stricter than back home. We weren’t on a budget and had an amazing overall experience in Hawaii. We stay at Airbnb’s from time to time to get a more local feel of the places we visit but in this case it would have made more sense to stay in one of the neighboring hotels. We went snorkeling, surfing, took a sail on the only wooden catamaran that belonged to the former King, did yoga on the beach, went boogie boarding, went to the Polynesian Cultural center and drove up to the Tantalus lookout for the most amazing view of the island. Our best costumer service and dinner was at 53 by the sea, the beach house at the surf rider hotel and 100 sails for breakfast. Every single other restaurant had horrible service including the restaurant below the Airbnb. Make sure to make reservations way in advance for everything you plan! Nature and the natives really made this an amazing experience and Hawaii is a must and we were sad to leave. Next time we will stay at a hotel and visit some of the other islands.
