Excellent host and very CLEAN, quiet, well-functioning condo in a great, calmer part of Waikiki. Many amenities within walking distance. We walked to the beach, restaurants, and shopping all within a few minutes.
The views of the hillside city, Diamond Head, and the ocean from the condo are awesome. We loved opening the balcony slider to feel the trade winds at night! One parking space is included, which is a huge burden lifted if you have a rental car (for those who haven’t yet visited, finding parking in Waikiki is expensive and stressful), AND free street parking can be found near the condo with some effort. Our parking woes were over as soon as we arrived for our stay at Mike’s. We loved use of the fully equipped kitchen and the bed was very comfortable, too.
My wife & I had a horrible experience with our prior accommodations and had to find a new place late into our 4th night. We reached out to Mike and he was so responsive and friendly. His prior guests had just checked out, and he went and cleaned the condo up for us to check in around midnight! Wow! He then took the time to get to know us and answer any questions. Even at the late hour, he was welcoming, not rushed, and gave us all the information we needed. We had a nice conversation... he’s an interesting guy who has traveled the world. We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience in Honolulu, and Mike was the only local who showed us the aloha spirit we had expected to find.
We’ll probably never return to Honolulu, but if we did, we’d definitely stay at Mike’s again. I wish we had stayed there from the beginning!
