One star for location, one star for patio and one star for good bones to the apartment. This apartment has the possibility to be a 5 star apartment and even charge more money, but the hosts communication and many things in the apartment I found troubling. Before continuing in my review, I travel year round and live out of Airbnb around the world, so I have a sense of what is acceptable and what the expectation of this price point should be with what is given. I also stayed in this Airbnb for 3 weeks in Waikiki. For starters, there are so many little things missing like coffee cups. There is a coffee machine provided and so you are forced to drink your coffee out of a cereal bowl. There is no drying rack or towel to dry dishes, so you have to lay them flat over all the counters. Also, the two sponges provided to clean with were dirty and only a few drops of dish soap left. Too many other things that won’t fit into this review! The hosts communication is poor. Prior to booking is where it began. I had to request to book it multiple times before she finally approved it and any questions before booking I had to send multiple times to get a reply. This pattern continued throughout the booking except for a couple rare occasions she replied in an acceptable amount of time. This Airbnb is the bare minimum. I’ve had much nicer stays for much less money. It was dirty upon arrival. Chunks of dust under the bed, something dried on tv screen, dead bug in kitchen cabinets, plunger and dried brown liquid with it under kitchen sink and so on. I cleaned it and was much better. I even bought extra toilet paper, the laundry detergent, bleach and other necessities (so enjoy them because I left them). An oversized table in the way. On the patio with 2 metal chairs is all you get to sit on. There is plenty of room for a small chair or sofa inside too. She has no manual, no instructions on where laundry room is or anything so you’re left having to ask everything. I then bought a 5 dollar laundry card to find out those don’t work and you have to use an app. A simple manual with all necessary info is all that is needed and would be a great touch. Upon leaving, I sent her a nice message letting her know and left the apartment in nice condition and not even a thank you, which is quite rude. If you’re going to rent out your unit, be professional. Having a unit in Waikiki where it is desirable doesn’t mean it is a free card to charge a lot of money and be lazy. This is not acceptable for an apartment between 2-3 thousand per month.
