A great Airbnb experience from start to finish! The self check-in process was smooth, and the studio itself is wonderful: clean, neatly furnished, with air conditioning and a number of amenities, including dish ware, bathroom supplies and awesome beach gear; the snorkeling equipment is some of the best I’ve used. When I had a (self-inflicted) issue with one of my key cards, James texted back within minutes to help resolve the issue. Also, the value of the free parking spot cannot be overstated: you absolutely need a car if you want to explore Oahu, and the parking spot for James and Sunny’s Airbnb is a short walk away. The location itself is prime: a 6-7 minute walk to Waikiki beach, with a number of restaurants and activities within walking distance.
This Airbnb’s one downside? Its location on the noisy Ala Wai boulevard. If you’re a light sleeper, or if you simply cannot stand noise, warning: this spot can get pretty loud, especially on weekends, with lots of people going out and being drunk/obnoxious. But honestly, most Airbnbs in Waikiki are going to have this problem, and it’s just something you have to swallow if you want the many benefits of being in Waikiki. (If you’re looking to get away from people, check out Oahu’s North Shore).
All in all, highly recommend this spot, which you really can’t beat for the price. Thanks for the great experience!
