Rosie and Robert are by far the most hospitable hosts I have ever met. They are super responsive and helpful, and have done an incredible job making their space feel a home away from home.
Their condo is perfect in every way:
(1) fabulous kitchen, with all the utensils you could need, plus they supply all the essentials (oil/vinegar, salt/pepper, a full coffee bar) and more (lots of spices!), plus having a dishwasher is amazing
(2) bathroom is modern and clean, with great shower pressure
(3) bed is super comfy; they also provided me a change of linens during my long stay
(4) having washer/dryer in unit is wonderful
(5) dining table is great and can double as a workspace, plus there are extra bar stools at the counter
Only downside to the location is the lack of a dedicated free parking spot. If you’re only in town for a short stay, then you should be able to find street parking along the canal or utilize the free parking at the marina (6hrs/day, before 10:30pm). But, if you need a parking spot, you’ll want to factor in the extra cost of parking at the garage for the condo.
Otherwise, I absolutely love the location and the ability to walk to Ala Moana (15 min), which gives you better access to grocery stores (Foodland, Whole Foods). It’s also much quieter than being in the middle of Waikiki and you’re a 5 min walk to a beautiful, less crowded beach next to the Hilton Lagoon.
