Pros: The room itself is cozy, well appointed, and had a wonderful view of the ocean, especially at sunset.

Cons: We were given the wrong code for the front door, so after a long and exhausting flight we stood in a windowless, poorly lit, humid hallway unable to get into our apartment. Contacting host was problematic at best, however, he emailed us the correct code after about an hour.

The building itself is somewhat worse for wear, as you can easily see from the elevators. On top of being slow and somewhat unnerving in their lengthy pause before opening at your floor, the sound of their movements also kept my wife and I up all night. It sounded very much like someone rolling bowling balls across the floor upstairs.

This was the main reason we found a different place to stay after only one night, however I feel that I should add that there is also a large homeless population in the surrounding neighborhood, and while not threatening, it wasn't exactly the kind of Waikiki honeymoon experience my wife and I had been hoping for.

To his credit host agreed to refund the bulk of our money when we were finally able to contact one another the next day, but when the refund finally came through yesterday it was minus a hefty charge well in excess of a single night.

All in all, this was a very disappointing experience for my wife and I, and even assuming the extenuating circumstances which naturally govern so much of our lives, I believe that there is a great deal of room for improvement in both the management of this property as well as its description in Airbnb.
