We did see one roach which freaked me out but it’s a tropical state and we were in a big building so I’m sure it’s hard to avoid. Our neighbors weren’t the cleanest either cause they kept leaving their trash outside their door which was literally right next to ours so that might’ve been the cause of that critter. My sister in law stayed in a room right above our floor and said she never saw any critters so I wasn’t too concerned about the isolated roach incident.
Initially, we were provided the wrong information which cause a bit of headache in the beginning of our trip. The information I was provided by our co host, Janine, was to another location they rented out as well. In the listing of our airbnb it showed there was a parking fee or limited free parking on the streets but the info provided to me stated there was a parking pass. I asked the co host twice just to be sure that there was in fact a parking pass since the listing said otherwise and she confirmed both times there was a parking pass so we wouldn’t have to pay for parking (though I found this to be odd I just left it since I already asked twice). Upon arrival we found out the information provided was for another location so parking was not free for our location and the check in information was all for a different rental.
Let me start by saying that the main reason for choosing this airBnb was because it’s literally the same building that one of my sister in law was in and it’s right next to our other sisters rental as well so we just had to walk to meet each other. The first day we landed in Honolulu we were crunched on time because we had other family members arriving and had to pick them up at the airport. I’m a breastfeeding mom and this was an adult trip so I needed to pump hence we thought we’d squeeze in some time to check in, I’d pump and then we’d head back to the airport to pick up our family members. It took us about a half hour to finally realize we were at the wrong rental (we figured because it was a bit of a distance from my in laws rentals). When we finally arrived to the correct address by following the airBnb listing address instead of the address Janine gave me, we found that we had to pay $35 a day for parking (which would be okay cause parking there is bad in general). We figured something was off because we had to reroute our location and when we got to our rental the parking rep kept telling me there’s no such thing as a parking pass in their lot. After talking to the parking rep a few times I decided to finally call Janine thinking I was crazy. At that point was when we found out that we weren’t provided the right check in details so we had to wait for her to find the correct check in details for our location. To make matters worse both key cards didn’t work so I had to go to security for help (I actually paid them a visit 3 times total due to the key cards not working, I kept it away from phones and magnets too). By the time we got into the room my husband was already pretty frustrated cause we were late to pick up his family at the airport and I still had to pump.
Janine was very kind and apologetic about the whole situation. She was also very responsive throughout the trip which was nice.
I would be careful about parking around the streets. Our second night my husband decided to park on the street. He misread the times on the sign and our rental got towed the next morning lol it was not a fun experience.
Overall the place was very cozy and clean. We were always in and out cause I needed to pump. The ac cooled the room rather quickly. The location is very close to a lot of attractions so you and literally walk down the strip if you wanted to go get food or buy clothes and or souvenirs.
