I thought this place was clean, but when I saw the first cockroach (good size) in this place, this quickly changed my mind. This place needs a pesticide treatment. I stayed here for 9 days and saw 3 cockroaches in this place. There were 2 big ones and one medium one. One was crawling on the sofa and the host did not have any bug spray in the house. She did have someone bring over some bug spray the next day, but I was on edge all night cause bugs are not my thing. If you aren't to concerned about the bugs, this place isn't all that bad. The place is only one short block east of the International Market Place and a 1.2 km (0.8 mile) walk to the Honolulu zoo. There were plenty of kitchenware and towels to use, no dish towels though. The unit itself is quite small with a small dining table and two chairs. The two A/Cs were super noisy. When they were on, I had to turn up the volume of the TV. The lights in the kitchen were not bright at all. When I was cooking in the evening, the counters looked very dark. I addressed this issue with the host and she said she would send someone to check it out. I do like the fact that I have my own washer and dryer in the unit. Also, this place has a great view of the Ala Wai canal.
One more note, I realized there wasn't anyone scheduled to check in after me. I requested a one hour late check out and host said no because of their "instant book" feature. So be warned of that if you plan on checking out late.
