Peter’s apartment-hotel is absolutely perfect for everything that I wanted during my stay in Waikiki. The check-in was a breeze and Peter is very responsive to any and all inquiries I had. He was thorough in explaining the check in process and was terrific at communicating with me throughout the entire process. It was my first time traveling and booking a place on my own, and it was the absolute perfect place to do so. Upon booking, he sent me the necessary information for traveling during Covid and what I’d expect upon departing for the islands.
The space is perfect for one or two people. Upon entering the room, I was completely blown away by the absolutely incredible view of the Ala Wai canal and the surrounding city. I immediately walked out to the balcony and was in such awe at the beauty of Oahu, I immediately contacted Peter to request an extension of my stay. He was, again, very responsive and accommodating. I’m so glad that I was able to stay for a couple extra days, because the 4 days originally booked just weren’t enough for all I wanted to do and see!
The room itself is pretty large! There was a kitchenette stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, a coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave, fridge, freezer, and a stove top. In the cupboards I found the necessary cleaning products for my stay. In the bathroom, there were extra towels, soaps, shampoo, and extra products for use if needed. There was a shower/tub with lots of extra space and good water pressure. There was a good-sized mirrored closet between the kitchenette and sleeping quarters. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable as well. The balcony had a small table between two chairs which became my favorite spot to have my morning coffee. There was also a desk space for anyone who would need to do any work while there.
The location in Waikiki is a short walk to Waikiki Beach, and even closer to Fort DeRussy Beach Park. The walk to Fort DeRussy was beautiful, surrounded by flowering trees, shrubbery, chirping birds, and the occasional rooster. The walk to Waikiki Beach was a breeze too and along the way, one would pass by various ABC stores & Long’s Drugstore, among many other storefronts of both designer wear & more casual wear. There were endless options for takeout meals, cafes, and restaurants.
I most definitely recommend staying at Peter’s lovely space and hope to stay there again when I return to Waikiki! In all aspects, I’d give the space more than 5 stars if possible. Thank you, Peter! I hope to return to your perfect Airbnb as soon as possible!
