The unit is in a great location, minutes away from Waikiki beach. There are definitely some things that stood out way too much for me that unfortunately made up mind about not leasing this unit again.
First of all, if you're a neat freak this is not a good option for you. When staying in an Airbnb I always like to wash the bedding, towels and disinfect all surfaces. When I pulled the sheets off the bed the mattress looked like a murder scene!! There was a mattress protector but it was stained as well. I ended up buying another mattress protector and bedding set. The carpet under the bed is in dear need of a deep cleaning, there is probably like a 6 shade color difference in the area that is under the bed and the area surrounding the bed. There is a small fridge that fits only beverages. The couch was also extremely filthy, it has mud stains and sand in all the crevices. The kitchen area seemed to be the cleanest but when we moved the microwave to plug in a skillet that we purchased (there is no stove due to Coding Regulations) we noticed that the counter hadn't been cleaned! There was stuck on gunk of who knows how long.
There is a Keurig machine and an electric kettle as well as dinnerware and knife set and cutting board.
The walls and molding have probably never been cleaned!
The bathroom wasn't as bad as everything else. My first day of vacation was spent cleaning the whole unit!!!
The second issue was parking! the building does have 2 parking lots under ground lever but it is advertised as "Public Parking." They offer a $25 24 Hour parking permit but good luck trying to find parking if you come home after 4:30pm. When we got home at 10 or 11 pm, it was practically impossible tofind a spot. Some nights we ended up parking at the surrounding Hotel parking lots that were as much as $65/ night. Nedless to say, the parking situation was a nightmare!
The laundromat is located in the ground floor of the building, there are probably 6 rows of washing machines and only a good 8 units work. All the rest have Out of Order stickers on them. The truck is, come in as soon as they open, that's the only way you'll be in and out the quickest.
The street door to Tower 2 (where the unit is located) gets locked by security at 8pm. You have to either go around the Tower 1 door or walk to the garage ramp and come back up though the garage entrance.
All in all I hope they consider correcting these issues within the unit. As far as parking and the laundromat I'm aware it's out of their hands but it's a good heads up to whoever rents this unit next.
