We really enjoyed staying at Hide's apartment. It was bright and airy, beautiful and large patio with great views. The location is wonderful as you can walk to everything If I remember correctly it is on the 21st floor which gives you a nice vantage point looking over the city, ocean, and a bit of Diamond Head too. It was nice to have flat screen tv's in both the living area and bedroom. The check in process was very easy Hide provided all of the information well in advance and was very responsive to messages.
I think the only things that were slightly disappointing was the phone and AC remote batteries were both dead and although we don't care for AC, it would have been really handy if the phone was working as I needed to make calls to book rental cars, reschedule flights, etc. I am now quite worried at what my cellphone charges might be! With fairness to Hide though, I did not mention this until after we had checked out.
Also because we had not been to Oahu before, and are fairly new to AirBnB, I was hoping to have a book/binder as some hosts leave so that guests can refer to that for local information, maps, and information regarding the rental suite and how everything operates. The suite wasn't super stocked so I suggest to pop into the ABC store just down the block to pickup some essentials, I think they are open until 11pm or midnight.
Overall we had a great time and if returning to Waikiki I would want to stay here again for sure!
