I have mixed feelings about my stay at Jane's place. first the pros:
*Good location in a residential area so not as noisy as Waikiki and still walking distance to stores and a few resurants.
*Pics of unit in the ad are accurate. comes with full kitchen, washer/dryer, 2 bedrooms, I bathroom (with large shower) and 1 parking spot in the driveway.
*Owners were quick to respond to any messages and were very friendly at check in/out
*The unit is spacious and has 2 air conditioners. 1 in the livingroom and 1 in the back bedroom (the room with the rock hard bed). The front bedroom with the softer bed didn't have AC
*Well stocked with cookware, plates/dishes, utensils, shampoo, towels and even laundry soap.
*well lit walkway and entryway
*Pro/con here: Unit seemed clean except the floor, walking around barefoot turned our feet black.
The cons:
*There is a family with children upstairs. We could hear them walking, stomping and running a cross the ceiling. I understood there would be some noise but this was almost non stop from about 6am until 10pm everyday.
*Some mornings we got to wake up to one of the residents , a guy, yelling in another language right outside the bedroom window.
* The owners cars are parked right infront of the unit right at window height (just feet away) so when they started their cars early in the morning the headlights shined right in the windows and the horn beep from locking them was really loud.
*There was no outside space what so ever. The airbnb ad never said there would be but it got to be almost cave like. The widows are frosted/texured slats you can't see through them and we didn't open them because it would let the cool air out. I guess this is more a personal problem but worth mentioning.
I just wish they had taken into consideration their noise level since we were staying below them and paid a good amount of money to be there. If your a deep sleeper it'll probably be okay but if your a light sleeper don't expect to be able to sleep in. Again, mixed feeling about my stay.
