Ivy’s place was perfect for our stay. It was clean, mostly quiet (except for the neighbour’s dog constant barking), and spacious enough for a couple to stay. It has everything that a guest could possibly need (comfortable bed, nice shower, kitchen utensils and appliances). The internet speed was very good (for remote work) and there was no drop in the speed or connectivity.
The host was very responsive and it was very good to see that Ivy provided a takeout dinner on our first day as we arrived late in the evening. Super host for a reason :-)
Note for future guests - (1) the a.c unit works perfect but it takes sometime to cool the room when turned on. (2) the washer and dryer is located downstairs and guest needs coins to operate it (Ivy provides the required coins for an exchange).
The apartment is just 10 mins drive to Waikiki. Since we travelled in a rental car, I cannot comment on how convenient it can be if guests are planning to travel by bus.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to stay here when I revisit Honolulu.
