If you are a high-maintenance type, this is definitely not the place for you. The location is less than a 1 minute walk to the beach and is located in a nice area of Waikiki. The apartment actually seemed to be a bit more outdated than what is shown in the pictures. The cleaning woman was leaving upon our arrival but she neglected to vacuum, sweep or remove lots of sand that was in the bedroom. As indicated in the listing, there is only 1 bathroom. However, the bathroom sliding does not work properly. The first time that my wife closed the door, she was temporarily locked inside the bathroom. She was unable to slide the wooden pocket door open. I pushed the slider with my shoulder and was able to get the door opened. We never closed the bathroom door after this incident. It is not cool to stay in the apartment with 3 people with a bathroom door that doesn't close. Other guests have mentioned issues about the bathroom door but the host has neglected to repair the problem. I wrote to him about the issue and he used the Covid excuse to explain the delay in repairing the door. We also had a problem with the shower. There is a hand held shower nozzle with a broken shower support. As a result, you can not hang the shower nozzle and it simply hangs into the bottom of the tub. The refrigerator worked well but the freezer was not working properly. The automatic ice-maker was making ice but then melt and freeze the ice and melted water into one block of ice. Basically, everything is old in the apartment except for the tv and the microwave.
The best aspect of the rental is the included parking pass which will definitely save you money if you plan to rent a car.
All in all, if you are low-maintenance and simply looking for a place to sleep and are not bothered by older furnishings and items that need repair, the apartment will definitely meet your needs. It definitely does not compare to the chain hotels in the area but is less expensive and has a kitchen. On a final note, I did have some messages back and forth with the host. I let him know that I am also a host and that he should definitely repair and renovate the apartment. He is not maintaining the unit as he should out of sheer laziness or simply due to the fact that Waikiki is a highly desirable area for Airbnb and he is aware that his unit will still be booked.
