The unit is really small and crammed with too much furniture. There are 2 couches crammed with other furniture in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom was as described. There is only one little tiny window AC unit in the apartment and was not working properly and wouldn't cool the unit properly. Note: There is no AC in the bedroom, just a floor fan. We ended up cancelling the reservation because it was just way too hot to stay there. The host was great in communication, but the unit was being managed by a realtor in the area, and thus has some degree of neglect. The AC unit was a tiny little window AC unit that could probably cool a small office, but no way cool a 1-bedroom apartment.
The host was very good at communicating with us and often contacted the realtor directly.
The price was decent but would advise those to look at other properties. The hallways of the building are exposed to the elements and do not have AC either. The only AC cooled space we found in the entire building was the main foyer where the security was located. The bedroom has an old bouncy spring bed and can accommodate 2 people. The living room is very small and has 2 couches crammed in there. I think one opened up to a sleeper sofa, but whoever sleeps on that will leave very little room to walk in the unit.
The front of the building has a local bus stop and we noticed quite a few homeless people in front of the building asking for money. The pool looked fine. The sauna was broken and was unable to get working as well. Maintenance was in the area and they stated that it doesn't really work either. Overall, this is a really old building and needs a serious renovation. This was my 19th trip to Hawaii and I always try to stay somewhere different each time. This was definitely the poorest review and property I have been to on the island. For those looking at similar properties, you're better off staying at a newly constructed condo or units at Illikai.
