The room itself was as-advertised, but i felt disappointed that i hadn't been forewarned of the level of noise from Lemon Road / alleyway through the louver tilted windows even when they are closed with the air con on for white noise. There seemed to be construction happening in the service alleyway from 7am to 5pm with trucks coming and going from the crack of dawn, and there also seemed to be late night (all-night?) events at the neighbouring hotel. It wasn't necessarily Kurt's fault, so i chose not to raise it with him, as the problem couldn't be fixed by the host.
One thing Kurt could have helped avoid, was that he accidentally oversold the 1 carparking bay. The day before my check-out, i had the Waikiki Grand maintenance guy banging on my room door, telling me that i had parked illegally and needed to move my vehicle immediately, and that he'd spent 15 minutes of his time trying to locate which room i was in. I told him that i had rented the carparking space privately through the owner on AirBNB, and the lady behind him mumbled an apology as Kurt had also sold her the carparking bay as she was renting another of his rooms. She then had to go down to reception and hire another bay. Other than street noise (bring earplugs just in case folks) and carparking bay confusion, my 5 nights there rolled along smoothly.
