The place was in a very convienent location - the beach was walkable, 2 abc stores are just down the alley, and you can easily reach anything in Waikiki with just a short walk. The downside to this is that parking can be tough and that it’s very loud, the windows were not sound proof to the sounds of the street nor to your neighbors in the building.
Check in was easy, you download an app and it allows you in through that. The problem with the app is that if your phone dies you’re out of luck, also check out is exactly at 11am so you lose your key after that. They can also delay your check in without notice since you don’t get your key until the room is ready, we were supposed to check in at 3pm but the room wasn’t ready until 4pm and we received no notice from the host.
Which leads to the final downside of this listing, the communication between mark and us was nearly non existant. We would message him and wouldn’t receive responses, we called the number through the check in app it took nearly 6 hours for a response back. This isn’t a bad Airbnb because of the location saves it, but definitely be aware that there are issues.
