This airbnb is not in a nice part of town. As a single female, I did not feel safe and moved a week into my month stay and just forfeited the remaining rent bc I felt so unsafe. I'm interning in HI for the summer and when I told coworkers where I was staying, everyone suggested I move. I took a taxi from Ala Moana and the taxi driver was so concerned he gave me his card "in case anything happened to me". Google/ask people about Kalihi-Palama (location of hostel) before booking.
The airbnb does have two locking gates/doors, and I didn't have any problems inside. However it is located at the end of an alley/short road with like industrial buildings and there were almost always men just sitting around the alley watching as I walked past. There's a gate where you can walk through the adjacent community college but it's not always open. I always made sure to come home before dark. Waiting for the bus at stops near the hostel, I was catcalled/harassed (admittedly this has happened to me also in other parts of Honolulu). I read other reviews that said it had a hostel vibe; I did not feel that. It seemed like a lot of long term guests.
When I was getting my lyft to move to my new airbnb, there was a woman yelling downstairs about someone pushing her (she seemed intoxicated) and the police were called. This might have been just my bad luck, but it's not the kind of vibe I was hoping for.
There is also no toilet paper in the bathroom, you have to carry a roll back and forth from your room. You also have to buy your own past the one roll provided (my original stay duration was 2 months).
If you're used to roughing it and feel comfortable in various areas of cities, it's a good price and you might be fine. The room was pretty much as described: single bed, mini fridge, shelf area with hangers, fan. My room was always very hot but it was livable with the fan on. If you're a young woman, or you're looking for something with creature comforts, I would not recommend this place.
