The apartment was clean, modern and looked just as the pictures showed. As a welcome, Rick left a bag of goodies which included bath essentials, toilet paper, hand paper roll, coffee, potato chips, laundry liquid and a scourer.
Located near the canal/river meant that you had to walk about 10-15 minutes into the main Waikiki strip and another 5 to the beach. The walk during the day gets really hot and at night, is breezy however it's dark and not a very populated area so be mindful if travelling alone.
The check in and check out process is pretty straight forward, it's finding the lock boxes that was confusing. Don't confuse them with the mailboxes! The lower lobby also offers to store your luggage for $10 flat rate if you get there early and won't check in for a few hours. Handy tip!
The apartment is small but has everything you need. Enough towels for 2 people. A coffee maker, mini convection oven, microwave, portable stovetop, cutlery, plates, bowls etc.
There is a tv and cable, aircon and a fan. I found the aircon to be a lifesaver as the sun seeps through the blinds and it gets really hot. The aircon cools down really quick so yay! Also, those blinds are really thin so if you're planning to sleep in, use the covers to cover your face lol, as soon as the sun rises, you will wake up!
There's also an iron in the wardrobe (which I didn't discover until the second last day haha) and a hair dryer under the bathroom sink.
Overall, the apartment was sufficient and had everything needed for my 5 night stay in Waikiki. In hindsight I would book somewhere closer to the main strip however this did not make my stay terrible, just meant some extra walking and calories burned lol.
