The beach that this AirBnB is on is gorgeous. The view Is breathtaking and people in Waikiki are paying twice the amount to have a lesser view. Be aware that room is in an older building, but the room itself is very cared for. Also, the room doesn’t have an AC, it’s a swamp cooler which has a different effect. It does help keep the room somewhat cool but not AC cool.
There were some issues with our stay that were outside of the host’s control. We ended up leaving after the first night because of this, but the host was super responsive, kind and got the problems addressed right away. She also refunded us for our entire stay without complaint. I’ve been in another similar AirBnb situation several years ago, but the host was awful, mean, and refused to refund us because AirBnB does not really have a system that holds the hosts accountable to doing so. So I appreciate that she was so kind and responsive to the problems we faced. I imagine that the issue will be fixed once the next guests arrive based on how quickly Andrea jumped on it :)
