I stayed at paradise on a budget for a week with my significant other. The place was very clean and the host was very nice and welcoming. It was close to places to eat and cafe's. It's about a 30 minute walk from Waikiki. Since there were two of us in the room, the AC unit was included, but even if it's just one person, I would say it's worth the extra cost for the AC unit. There is a ceiling fan and standing fan, however, if you want to keep costs low. The bathrooms are always kept clean. There are several guests coming and going from the house but it's always neat and tidy and the other guests were very polite and courteous. Some of the amenities included: bath and beach towels, sunscreen, bikes, washer and dryer, toiletries, and space in the fridge for your carryout leftovers. We did not have a rental car, so we walked, took ubers, and took the bus everywhere. A one way bus fare is $2.75 or an all day pass is $5.50. Make sure you have exact change. Their place is about a $25 uber ride from the airport. I'd definitely recommend Steve's place if you're looking for an affordable and clean place to stay while exploring Oahu!
