The in-apartment washer and dryer was a great asset. and the kitchen was equipped well and Marcy stocked the pantry with some basics to help before you were able to shop. This was greatly appreciated.
Marcy described Hawaiian Air-conditioning, which to the uninformed is open windows and hope the trade winds blow (Who would ever believe in Hawaii there was no Air-conditioning?? I live in Pennsylvania and we all have Air...). While the views of the sunset are great, the Lanai is unusable from 12 till after the sun goes down you bake your brains out. No awning or shades on the Lanai or on the windows the sun bake the bed in the front bedroom all day even with the cheap plastic exterior blinds dropped . The average temp in the Apt was 85 several days 90. I showered and laid in front of a fan to keep cool. Then showered again in the morning before work .(couldn't wait to get to the air...)
With the windows open the noise from Aki Moana blvd makes you feel like your on the street. Difficult to sleep It doesn't quiet until till after 3am and starts again at 5am. THe apartment is very dated, the baths and closets, poor lighting and a ceiling fan over one chair??? Whats up with that???
