This place is not actually completely renovated. It looks like they just renovated the sink area and called it renovated. The shower and tub area are sickening (for someone who is a clean/neat freak like I am), with the tub and walls around it threatening to collapse onto the ground while you shower. The whole bathroom is about as tiny as a closet. The tiny bath mats on the ground look like there are cigarette burn marks on them. Since the whole place is tile, it gets dirty really fast. Bring your own indoor slippers if you plan on taking your shoes off inside. The patio area was nice enough. We didn't get a chance to use most of the beach equipment they provided. The bed is OK, and the sheets are thin and polyester, but it was comfortable enough. The hosts were kind and provided a pack-n-play for our 2-year-old to sleep in. I don't know if the hosts do texting or not, because I texted to ask for a mop to mop up the ground in the room, but no one responded.
The location is perfect if you aren't driving a car, otherwise free street parking is near-impossible to find, or you pay minimum $25/night to park in the underground lot, and if that's full, it's $30/night at the second-closest lot. If you plan on only staying in the Waikiki/Honolulu area when you go to Oahu, this is a great location because it is central to everything in that area; you could take an uber/lyft or taxi or bus from the airport and just walk around the area or take buses everywhere, and it'd be wonderfully convenient. Just don't expect much from the room itself.
