First off, I had quite a difficult time finding the kind of accommodations that were ideal for me. And really, ideal is more so where the beds were both a great size and quality, as well as in separate rooms. I was very happy to have this property come up in the listings. As a quick note on the sofa bed: don't let the fact that it is a sofa bed deter you, it is quite comfortable and easy to manage.
The views from both the living room and lanai are awesome, as well as the walkability around Waikiki. For when you have a vehicle, the various one way streets can make it a bit confusing at first when you are using the parking. But that obviously isn't the fault of the renters. Plus I think that just comes down to how quickly you can become familiar with a new location.
When I checked in initially the safe wasn't working; it seemed as if the battery was dying. Gavin came the next afternoon to get it sorted as soon as he could. It wasn't a necessity of the trip for me, but it was nice to have the working safe for a bit of extra peace of mind.
Everything was quite clean when we got in and things were pretty spot on to how described in the listing. I wish that there were spices provided for cooking however. From memory I just recall there being some soya sauce, cayenne seasoning, and salt. I also wish that there was additional money provided on the laundry card. Two wash and dry cycles and the money on the card was spent. I'm not sure if the owner resets this amount or if it just carries over from when people like me put 5 dollars on it to wash a third load of laundry and then whatever is left gets passed on to the next person.
The building itself was nice as well, although when people were getting ready in the morning, you could occasionally hear them through the walls. We never had any actual issues sound issues though. Nice cafe on the main floor and right by the canal made it a great jumping of point.
All in all, would definitely recommend this place to others.
