Pros: Chris' place cannot be at a better location. It's really minutes from the beach and close to everything. There's a coffee place directly across the street, a mom and pop mini market down stairs, food, car rental and walking distance from everything you want located in Waikiki. Location is hands down perfect. He also have many floating tubes, chairs and stuff that you need for the beach which is nice so you don't have to buy any. There are 2 refrigerators which is awesome since we went to Safeway to buy food to cook for our 2 year old daughter. Has coffee maker, utensils, plates, bowls, pots and pans and hot plate is available.
Cons: The "kitchen" is very small but manageable if you don't plan to cook anything complicated. Small bed is very uncomfortable but it is a rollaway bed. Bathroom sink leaks and things could have been a cleaner like the bathroom. Having a small kid that likes to touch and put everything in her mouth we had to buy our own cleaning products from the store and clean what we could. The building is also old and can use an update but has great bones (thick walls and floors) so you won't here people upstairs stomping around or your neighbors talking (
Conclusion: I would definitely recommend to stay here if you are a couple or solo traveler because everything you need is here. If you are a family with a small child under 4 maybe reconsider. If you are a family of 3 with a child that is 5-10 years old I think its a good place. Any older than that maybe you want them to have their own space.
We stayed for 10 days here and had a wonderful time and definitely would come back. While we were here they were also in construction to renovate the lobby and from the pictures it looks like it will be a much nicer looking place when they are done.
