Ming was a very nice host, gave easy checkin instructions :) also provided beach towels, which was very useful and the bed was also very comfortable. Location was also quite central.
However, we were a bit disappointed that the apartment didn’t look nearly as nice as the pictures and was not very well maintained. Everything was put together a bit haphazardly, and could use a bit more thought...the bottle of blue handsoap we were given had 2” of yellow sludge at the top, the shower head had black mold, and there was lots of limescale buildup on everything in the bathroom. Not a big deal, but these are quick fixes that would make the apartment feel much nicer and not feel like a profit machine with the cheapest fixes to get by. The wifi was also not very reliable, and dropped off constantly.
If this place included parking, I would think it would be worth it to stay again, but for this price, I would probably pick an actual hotel next time. The Waikiki Banyan down the road that half our group stayed at was about the same price, but was much cleaner, included free parking, and nice touches such as chocolates and wine.
