I immediately fell in love with the place when i saw the photos so i was very disappointed when i saw the place. The photos are taken in such bright lighting that they don't show how old the place is. The interior was very run down and desperately needs renovation. The closet was coming off from the bottom. There was one of those portable ACs which wasn't enough even though we went in winters. The bath tub was so old, dirty and small. There wasn't enough toilet paper. Parking is a BIG headache. The Ala Wai boulevard is a super busy place and if you take your car out after 4 chances are you won't get a space to park.
On the up side, the location is great. You are on walking distance from waikiki beach and the mall. The host was responsive.
I think the place could be really great if the host just renovates it. I felt like it wasn't worth the money i paid for it.
