This is a wonderful budget option for Waikiki travelers on a budget. The location is top notch (it’s literally in the best part of Waikiki) and the view is actually pretty good (you can just see the ocean out the lanai if you look to the side!). Unfortunately, there were two reasons we couldn’t give this location a full five stars: first, the carpet was a bit dirtier than we had anticipated, but to be fair this seems to be an issue that plagues even the nicest resorts on the island — it’s just hard to keep carpets clean in a beach town I suppose. Second, the apartment is brokered through a third party provider (captain cook resorts) that has a bit of an “extra” tone when communicating — it was all nice, but the aggro energy rubbed us the wrong way from time to time. They also moved the communication pipeline outside the app, which was annoying.
In any case, to summarize, overall we had a fantastic stay and would def stay again. As long as you set your expectations correctly (budget AirBnb, not a resort, beach town with some older infrastructure) we’re pretty confident you will feel the same satisfaction too!
