Completely honest review :
The location of the rental was excellent - 2 blocks from the beach and a view of sunrise over Diamond Head
Walkable to many restaurants , shops and bars
The included parking is priceless in Waikiki and the garage was very well lit and attended
When we arrived the unit had a strong odor of weed . I was worried the owner would think we smoked in the apartment, so I reported it right away and there was no issue.
Also upon arrival the internet and cable did not work. The owner was quick to respond and both were up and running within 2 hours.
The building is old but the unit has been remodeled and is decorated cute however the kitchen is barebones - no spices, oil or other basics a lot of rentals supply and there were utensils but no baking sheets to use so if you plan to stay for an extended time or like to cook in you may need to bring some things with you .
There were no beach towels and the two beach chairs provided were rickety and rusted so we could not use them.
The curtains are also not black-out , which would have been OK but there is an apartment building that has a lot of lights on all night and they shine right into the bedroom so bring a sleeping mask if you are a light sleeper.
Lastly, we were contemplating canceling our trip when the governor advised visitors to stay away. The other two apartments we rented on this trip were very understanding and offered a full refund . The owner of this unit would not bend their cancelation policy. For us it worked out because we ultimately decided to take the trip and have no regrets, but if you need flexibility just be aware that you will be locked into commitment with this rental .
