Don’t book here. When I initially skimmed through the reviews before booking the Airbnb, I saw others were sometimes moved to a different condo and had less than a stellar experience. So when it happened to us three days before we arrived to Oahu, I wasn’t surprised. The reason for the move was water shut off for the condo we initially booked for. He offered to give us a different condo to stay in (Unit 2414) or a full refund. With three days before our arrival, it was slim pickings with airbnbs of good value at this point and in walking distance with another family who was vacationing with us.
In the description for this condo we stayed in, it stated “all new kitchen and bath.” In the photos, everything looked nice, however, in person, I was not impressed. The refrigerator was old with stains going down on the left door. The utensils were not washed well. The induction stove had a light on saying it was “hot” but we NEVER turned it on. The bathrooms were decent but nothing impressive. On their paper, they wrote if anything was broken, it’s not their fault because they check things beforehand. So if something breaks, it’s your fault *roll eyes*
The couches were not comfortable, the carpet looked very age along with doors and walls, saw some stains. And the view? In between all the other building towers and structures, the view was okay. The weird plastic wrap on the windows makes the views and windows look cheap from the wrinkles it has. The TV? Oh they mentioned that some kid damaged the remotes previously, so the buttons on the remote was a hassle to use.
For the 2K we spent, I wish I would have believed it was red flags with people being moved and stayed somewhere else initially. This place looks outdated.
He connected me with his personal assistant, Lucious. Lucious was not very responsive the four days we were there. In the original condo, I liked that they had beach gear for us to have. In this condo we got put in, limited items. Lucious said he would bring it to us. We had a conflict in schedule with him and the one time we stayed back for two hours because he said he would drop off the items in an hour, he didn’t. I reached out to him and he said he got stuck doing something with cable boxes. It was frustrating.
This trip was to special us since we took our mothers with us and it was our baby moon. Everything was great minus the Airbnb experience. At least the Airbnb was walking distance or a short driving distance to activities and places we had planned.
