I loved this place and 100% would recommend! I'm already thinking of when I should come back.
It's in the 7000 Hawaii Kai Dr building, which is a new and modern. The area is great for if you don't want to be in tourist-y Waikiki. Why I loved this place:
- Super convenient and safe location - it's close to the 72, so it's easy to get anywhere. Less than 20 min away to Waikiki, ~30 min to Kailua beach (beautiful drive), less than 10 min to Koko head, and Hanauma Bay.
- Parking included - The space is in a corner so you will need to get used to it, but it comes with the Airbnb. You will need a car to get around Hawaii especially in the Hawaii Kai area.
- Costco, Safeway, Leonard's Malasada Truck, the Original Roys, Foodlands and so many more restaurants are all near by
- Water filter in the fridge and they also have a Brita filter
- Includes Washer Dryer
- Building has a pool, hot tub, and gym. Due to covid, you'll have to reserve the gym through an online portal, but it was easy and typically available.
- THE VIEW - you can see the ocean and Koko head. They also have some outdoor space in the building that was really nice to chill at
- TV has Roku
- Internet was fast enough for two people to work / VC
- Comes with beach towels and regular towels
- Bed was really comfortable
- 2 bedrooms / 1 bath
- Kitchen came with basics like pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, rice cooker
Just a couple of notes:
- I had a month stay and the description mentions it, but you'll have to bring/buy your own shampoo, body wash, toilet paper, dish soap, trash bags, laundry detergent, coffee filters, etc. It's more of a furnished apartment than a typical Airbnb. There's plenty of stores nearby though to buy stuff.
- Check in - Zoe will meet you and give you the keys. Before check in, you'll have to fill out some forms. For check out, we just left the keys in the room.
- One bedroom has a ceiling fan and the other bedroom has AC. The living room also has AC. I stayed in the room without AC, but left the living room AC on and the ceiling fan on in my room. I was totally fine and it was cool enough in my room.
Overall, this is a great place and I enjoyed my stay VERY much!! Mahalo Zoe!
