Jiyoon is one of the best hosts that I’ve ever met! I messaged Jiyoon early in advance to see if I could do an early check in and she mentioned she can’t guarantee it, but is willing to hold onto my luggage.
Fast forward to my stay, Jiyoon was so quick to respond when I messaged her my arrival and she was able to hold onto my luggage and even placed it in the room for me as well!! The room matched its description and it was so close to the beach. It was literally one block away from Waikiki beach and right behind the Hyatt! The area is super safe so if you’re traveling late at night or early morning, you don’t need to be too worried. You’re next to a bar that opens early and super close to ABC. There are people walking around the area most times during the day so it was super safe.
The building on the outside didn’t look too nice, but we didn’t mind it! We chose to spend less on our stay so we can splurge on the other items and we were so glad that we did! This place was super affordable considering that we were only one block away from the beach and at a prime location! The studio looked like the photos and was super clean as well. I appreciated how Jiyoon’s Airbnb didn’t come with guidelines that you had to take out the trash and do a whole bunch of clean up before leaving the Airbnb which was awesome. It felt as if we were staying at a hotel. However, Jiyoon was so nice that we wanted to do the extra clean up steps to help her out!
