This is in a perfect location, however, some investment needs to be made. I was surprised that the whole place needs painting, the stove needs to be upgraded (pan tilts with the electrical things), and the couches completely replaced (the little coach was really ready for the dump). Additionally, the fake grass/patio covering was so horrible I felt that I was in a second class setting-this would seem like a minimal investment for owner and would allow renters a nice place to sit, however, one chair was missing some of the straps so no sitting in that one. With some investment, the owner could turn this from drab highway motel feeling to a beautiful apartment. I travel often and rent apartments/condos, and this is my third rental in Waikiki and the least favorite.
On the plus, it is a large, bright space with good wifi. Use uber to take you back to airport or around city and save some money. Use the Safeway for groceries to really save. Do not set your standards to even medium; you will likely feel some disappointment in the overall quality of the unit.
