The location and price of the unit are unbeatable. Lin is a fantastic host and was always on top of communication. Finding the unit and getting setup can be a little confusing but Lin was very helpful and took the time to guide us through everything in person. Having the parking spot in the parking garage was huge and allowed us to rent a car to be able to explore the island freely.
The location of the Airbnb is everything and was within walking distance to the beach, shopping malls, and restaurants. There’s a 7-11 right next to the building and was super convenient (the 7-11’s are way better in Hawaii than on the mainland, they were comparable to Japanese kombini’s). Yes the unit is on a very busy street so there was a good amount of noise but nothing unbearable.
The amenities that Lin provides in her unit definitely exceeded my expectations, having the beach chairs and all the cookware made our trip so much better.
This isn’t some super upscale hotel room and so it’s clearly been lived in, but nothing more than a few carpet stains and marks in the bathroom. Besides that, it was pretty clean and livable, and with all that the island has to offer you won’t be spending too much of your time inside!
I would recommend this spot for anyone who’s trying to get a full Waikiki with experience on a decent budget.
