Our stay at Mandy's place was convenient and comfortable. Although the unit was a bit dated, it was immaculately clean, nicely decorated, had a beautiful view of the Ala Wai canal, city and surrounding mountains, and everything worked well. Mandy was super responsive to any questions we had and she was a pleasure to deal with both before and during our stay.
The Sunset is close to everything you might need in the Waikiki area. It's a 5 minute walk to a great swimming beach, the Food Pantry for groceries is a 10 minute walk, lots of good restaurants are minutes away and the bus stop that takes you pretty much anywhere on the island is only a 1 minute walk. We also enjoyed our daily runs in Kapiolani Park and at the Ala Wai Canal, both of which are very close.
The bed was comfortable with nice linens, lots of towels and a great hairdryer were provided and the unit was very spacious. The kitchen is stocked well enough to make some meals there and has a great coffeemaker. The pool and pool area at the Sunset are very nice.
A couple of very minor issues we experienced that definitely did not take away from a enjoyable stay, but should be mentioned. Although we slept fairly well most of the week, a couple of nights, it sounded like the people above us were playing marbles between 10 PM and midnight. The walls and ceilings in the building are thin, but for the most part, things were quiet (especially for Waikiki). Shampoo, conditioner, lotion and salt and pepper shakers were not provided. Just something to be aware of.
Would recommend Mandy's place and would stay again if returning to the Waikiki area.
