William responses to my messages very quickly. Prior and during our stays. Did not meet him in person but he gives clear instructions about check in and parking.
Centralized location. Close to everything, just like what other review have said.
The interior of the studio is bright and clean. No rangehood in this unit so no heavy cooking or your clothes and linen will smell. But who would spend time cooking when you are on vacation right? We only boiled water once for cup noodles.
Don't let the lime green wall or the hallway scare you once you exit the elevator. The photos are real and everything is listed correctly as described.
I am not going to write too much about this studio as others have written already. Here are my tips:
1. Bring some bounce sheet with you. Due to the proximity of the door between units. Your neighbors may do heavy cooking and odour would travel between door gaps.
2. Make sure you read all the bulletins in the elevator about water tank shut down or internet issues.
3. Ala wai Blvd has free parking. Test your luck. We were only able to park free on the street once.
4. Take cash with you if you decide to park here as they only take cash. No exception.
5. Those with allergy. Don't let the AC run on high all the time. Open the window and get some fresh air. Do it at least once per day for 10mins. You will thank me for this.
6. You have to go to Kalua and @7 Lanekai beach. 200% better than Waikiki beach.
7. Ask William for restaurant suggestions of you are celebrating something special.
8. The studio is facing East. Pick a clear day to take some stunning time lapsed sunrise photos.
9. While you open the window for some fresh air. Don't forget to turn to your right for some partial ocean view. You know you have paid a bit extra somewhere else in the and water Caribbeans.
10. All bottle drinks has a $0.05 deposit. We paid$2 for a case of water and some cans of coke and all bottle drinks. If you are very keen on that dollar or 2 deposit fee, you can get your money back at the redemption center. We did nhappy here inot bother but save them and cleaned them for the house cleaners. Some extra cash for her if she does multiple units.
Thank you William for being such a fantastic host. There are things that he has done extra that made us very happy and enjoyed our holidays. Yeah, I am not sharing because I don't want others to take advntage of this nice guy.
