Most importantly, there was zero bugs inside of this unit. I suspect Grace got into the unit and insured the bugs were gone after that incident happened on those other reviews.
The place was exactly what I thought it was a studio apartment just a few blocks from the beach and all the shopping areas of Honolulu.
Yes it was hard finding parking, BUT it was hard finding parking anywhere in Honolulu. Unfortunately, Honolulu brings in a ton of people and those people all drive cars. So the spots fill up quick. I suggest if you are going somewhere close to the unit just walk and enjoy the environment and weather.
It was hot inside the unit when I first got there, but the A/C was off when I first got there. I turned the A/C unit on, dropped my bags and headed to the beach then dinner. When I returned to go to sleep it was much cooler, and at some point in the middle of the night it got so cold that I was shivering.
Also I didn’t hear any fire trucks or excessive noise while in the unit, but I do come from an area that isn’t completely quiet at night so I may just have not noticed. Again this unit is in the high population area, so things are going to happening at all times.
Over all the unit was a great place that was in a great location that made for a great launching point for my adventures around the island. There are a couple of things that Grace could do to make the first impressions better but this is once again going to be on my short list of AirBnbs the next time I come out to Oahu.
Thanks for reading this far and I hope this helps you in your consideration of this place. PEACE!!!!
