Tomoko’s place is in prime location, walking distance to Int’l Market mall & Waikiki Beach. Fine restaurants nearby & friendly neighborhood.
Apartment is quite disappointing as it is very dated. It doesn’t match the obviously enhanced photos posted on AirBnB. Although the host is responsive, she didn’t resolve most our problems. Things should’ve been done prior to guests’ stay. To mention a few, the place was too dusty, the carpet was stained and had a musty smell. We had to do a lot of cleaning, vacuuming and simple furniture fix when we arrived. The cleaning fee should’ve been waived, place is in a pretty bad condition. Kitchen utensils, pots/pans were full of rust and gunk. Quite unhealthy & unsanitary to use. Host replaced a few items. Oddly, there’s tissue stuffed in a ceiling crack where TV used to hang. Washer is defective, doesn’t spin and dryer takes hours to use. Internet fluctuates, couldn’t use for work.
Sadly, not an ideal stay for us. First AirBnB bad experience :-(
