Perfect for us.
We booked this last minute - literally in the sky. The communication with the host was immediate. We landed and went straight to this airbnb.
Highlights (many)
* perfect location - It was a quiet area and loved the balcony. It has alot of room - two patio chairs and a patio loveseat. We had a beautiful view of the canal and walking path. We walked accross the street and rented bicycles one morning and rode on the path for a little exercise. We then came back and had Belgium waffles at the cafe in the building. They provided guests a 25% discount.
+ My GPS said a 4 minute car ride to Waikiki Beach or a 11 minute walk.
+ As I said, it was very quiet. We ran the air conditioner at night and didn't hear any noise. We were thankful it had an air conditioner. Our last place did not and the sound of birds were so so loud that it kept us up :)
* Security - I felt extremely secure. The building prided itself on safety. You can't get through any doors without a key fob. We even tried to use the restrooms while down on the main level and had to swipe our key fob. It's for guests only.
+ Upon arrival, we went to the front desk area where they confirmed our information and gave each of us a fob for the access to the secured building.
+ A key fob is required to get into doors and even the elevators.
+ We had our own pin code to get into the door which was secured by a Eufy security door lock.
- The building has secured parking. It was nice to park in the same building were staying at. The building does charge $35 per 24 hours to park. However, their were some spots on the street where you could park for free. It was worth it for us to park and stay at the same place.
- Comfy - The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were amazing. It was nice not to go somewhere and sleep on hard beds and have crappy pillows.
- The towels were large and comfy. They provided 2 large beach towels and beach supplies to even include a soft sided cooler. Although we didn't use the cooler or beach supplies, it was definitely a plus.
The water pressure was perfect and it was nice to take hot showers.
- This place was very clean and modern. Very cool! I will post pictures later. I'm in the sky again as I type :)
I really loved the smooth and quick process to book and immediately get a response from the host. If I had a question, it was answered right away even though I never would expect that but it was appreciated.
We would definitely recommend this place.
