Even though I arrived early in the morning Maria was able to arrange access for me to the unit - which was fabulous after travelling for 16 hours. I was at the apartment for a month.
The apartment isn't huge but works well. I appreciated having the balcony which not all units have, a kitchen with a large fridge (no oven - but benchtop one provided). The bed was comfortable but the sheets provided were poor - one set wrong size for the bed the other the elastic did not hold the fitted sheet firm on the bed (this may not annoy other people).
The curtains are thin and don't cover the window so if you want to sleep in in the morning you need eyeshades. I would like the natural air and often had the door to the balcony open rather than using the air conditioner, however the noise from the traffic below is extremely loud. There is no electric fan in the room which would have been great so that the door could be shut for sleeping or when roadworks were happening outside but you could still have ariflow. (I spoke with Maria and think she will obtain a fan for the unit)
The bedroom/sitting area has no ceiling light but 2 standard lamps - which were both awkward to turn on/off. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, cutlery, saucepans, etc. cleaning stuff.
The block itself is safe and kept clean. I love the pool, a good size and warm temp ( I think it may even be heated in Winter). The elevators were being replaced whist I was there so it was very slow and tedius waiting for a lift - but this won't be a problem soon. There are 6 wahsers and 8 driers at the block. However they only take credit card (not sure about debit) I was pleased mine (as a foreign cc that I was trying to avoid using, after a few attempts worked - so just to be aware of if not from US) - it would have been annoying to find somewhere else to do the washing.
The location is great - under 10 minutes to the beach, downtown Waikiki and 10-15 mins to the Ala Moana shopping area.
Cleaning is not included in the rent, but Maria had a few options so this can be negotiated.
The apartment needs some maintenance but as Maria will be there next month I am sure she will be on to it. She had quick response to a problem I did have.
I enjoyed my time staying at this apartment.
