I stayed at Dana's space with my husband for one night in October -- what a special find!
The location is very central to shopping along Kalakaua and near to Ala Moana Center. There is a great restaurant across the street called Cheeseburger Waikiki- we managed to hit both happy hours at 3pm and 9pm and had amazing service from Roman. There is also a smart car rental downstairs for $89/day (we didn't do it tho) and there is a 7/11 and ABC Mart downstairs also. So lots to do and many conveniences in the immediate building area. Also a cute breakfast restaurant and some other sushi spots, etc...
As for the space- her photos are true and accurate. It is a good size, comparable to a hotel room. My husband and I had plenty of room for our luggage and we were very comfortable. The space is clean and decorated with modern comforts. There is a small fridge so if you are on an extended stay you could fit groceries. She also provides 2 bottles of water as a welcome. I noticed a kettle, coffee maker, hot plate and some dishes. There is a microwave and toaster oven. The bathroom is open concept (no door) so if you are traveling with someone, be sure you are comfortable with them! I loved the design. There is an armoire for clothing and beach/pool towels and bath towels provided as well as extra blanket/linen. There is also soap/shampoo/conditioner. The unit is run by a window AC unit. Because of all the windows, it was quite warm during the day. We opted to open the windows and the warm breeze felt amazing. The bed is also very comfortable-- it is a real bed (not a futon or pull out). There is also secure wifi.
The unit is within a hotel/condo high rise. Laundry is available on the 5th floor but it is $$ and operates on c/c ($3.75/wash and $2.75/dry)
The pool and hot tub is lovely and there are BBQs available too. Everyone in the building is super friendly. The elevators are a bit slow but it seems to be a bit of an older building. I noticed a fitness room and it seems things are slowly but surely being updated throughout the building.
Don't be put off by the green walls of the building hallway or some of the smells. You get used to it and the unit is just such a gem! It is also super secure- we noticed security cameras everywhere, a key is needed to access the elevator and there is onsite security. It's great to feel so safe. We loved it and would love to stay again!
Thank you for a wonderful stay Dana, for being so easy to communicate with and for being so accommodating :)
