I has such an awesome time at Carrie's place!
I have lived in the Waikiki area on Oahu for a couple months in different Airbnbs. I have to say that Carrie's place gave me the best long-stay experience:
1) Super spacious balcony with amazing Ala Wai Canal view:
- much better than the city views other Airbnbs provided. The green mountain backdrop made everyday so pleasant.
- I saw rainbow over the mountain almost everyday!
- on New Year Eve 2020 I enjoyed spectacular "free firework show" on the balcony =P
2) The whole unit's windows/glass-doors are EAST-facing, HUGE benefit:
- this made the unit not hot at all! I did not use the AC even once.
- the balcony was almost never hit directly with strong sunlight. Whenever I needed some air, I'd just chill at the balcony and enjoy the breeze.
3) The host did a great job utilizing the unit's space. The whole place felt super spacious! (at least for a small person like myself...haha)
4) The build is very well managed.
- common area was frequently cleaned
- one of the best building laundry rooms I have had. Also it's much cheaper than other paid laundry rooms.
5) The area is in general quieter than other Waikiki neighborhoods.
6) Carrie and Suzie were super responsive and attentive. Our communication was very smooth.
I will definitely stay at Carrie's place again if future brings me back to Hawaii!
