Very promising listing (beautiful decor, lots of green plants in the apartment, comfortable bed and nice bed linen), but has serious issues with A/C.
The place is a loft space with a bedroom above, and when heat builds up in the loft, the open air mass is trapped, rises to the ceiling and stalls right above the bed. So appropriate cooling the loft is vital, especially in hot and humid Hawaii. There were two A/C in the loft (one is window installed in the living room and additional unit is in the bedroom), but none of them really did the cooling. The air temperature in the bedroom was still 83F (28C) after both units have been running for one hour. It was impossible to sleep and even to breath normally because of the hot air. It was like sleeping in a greenhouse! The outside temperature was lower than in the apartment. The ceiling fan in the living room and two portable floor fans didn’t help either as they were just circulating a hot air. Not to mention a huge noise the units produced altogether.
I’m really surprised that no one mentioned that in a review - it’s absolutely impossible not to notice that, as well as impossible to sleep with such a noise and hot air. We ended up sleeping on a coach with a celling fan running all night as it was the only place in the entire loft where it was not so hot compared to the bedroom. There was no natural breeze coming through even with the front door and all windows opened, though it was breezy outside. It was extremely uncomfortable, and definitely not what you’re expecting for the price we’d paid per night. We had to spend there two sleepless nights as corresponding with the hosts, AirBnB, and finding a new place took us almost the whole day.
Besides of that we found the kitchen furniture a bit outdated and definitely not a brand new as advertised. There are just two sitting place to eat, which is ok for 2 people but definitely wouldn’t be enough for more guests, and it wasn’t appealing for us to have meals at home. There was food left from previous guests (?) in the fridge (eggs, milk) which I prefer to have clean and empty. Also we’ve found a bit annoying to adjust the shower. In overall very upset with my experience!
