Overall good stay for a short weekend in Waikiki, in the heart of a vibrant bustling beach city life. Parking stall was a plus! Location is very close to many restaurants and the shopping centers. A bit noisy, but nice that it was a corner room with city views with two lanai's. There was useable beach chairs/cooler/towels/umbrellas too which was nice. Appliances and inside are a bit outdated and could use some TLC. Didn't really have any communication with the the Host, but it was the most interesting check in process, having to meet with the Apartment Manager in person which seemed like a bit of a hassle. We also had to provide cash for the state tax and signing a waiver/contract which almost seems a bit scammy as we didn't have to do this for other previous airbnb stays in Hawaii. Jeanie was very sweet and accommodating, but I felt bad that she had to wait on us to check in and out. Once we were checked in though, everything was good once we got clear instructions.
