I highly recommend this place. The condo was renovated and tastefully decorated. The floor to ceiling windows show great views. The unhindered view of the mountains and the city of Honolulu from this upper level condo was beautiful during the day and night.
This condo is primarily used as an Airbnb rental so everything was run efficiently. It was clean, neat with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and even beach gear . The kitchen came in with a stove, refrigerator, electrical kettle and microwaves. The apartment had pots, pans, utensils, cups, plates and pantry essentials (oil, salt, pepper, spices and more). The unit also has its own numbered parking spot close to the elevator.
Entertainment - Cable TV with on demand shows and movies.
Extras - The apartment is pretty close to elevators, garbage chute and laundry area. Laundry is about $1.50 per load. I love being in the heart of Waikiki, close to tourists as well as locals alike. The area was fairly quiet with building security. Plenty of ABC convenience stores nearby (closest one was less than a block ) to purchase food, souvenirs or toiletries.
The condo was two blocks away from the beach. The famous Rainbow Drive In is walkable distance as well as the International Market Place mall for shopping.
Cost: We were charged upfront with no additional fees. Some airbnbs can charge an additional Hawaiian short term rental tax that is in addition to what you pay per day. Hotels in Honolulu for the most part charge for valet-$40 per day as well as resort fees of $30 or so per day..
Bottom line: Everything was better than we expected from online reviews. Views were superb and location was perfect. Close enough to touristy areas but a lot quieter. Great value for the price! Would definitely choose Mandy's place again.
