Check-in: The check-in and main communication is with Unai’s property manager Tony. Unai provided Tony’s phone number and I coordinated a time for check-in. Check-in took about 15-20mins. Tony is great, super helpful and responsive through out our stay. He explained the different features of the home and provided two fobs for my partner and I.
Apartment: The apartment has amazing views! I was a bit worried about the heat since we were visiting in the middle of June, but the apartment has an A/C, ceiling fan, and standing fan. It also helps to close the blinds during the day to reduce the amount of heat entering through the windows. The A/C is located in the living room so I used the fan at night to circulate the air in the bedroom. The layout of the apartment is open floor plan studio, with the shower located adjacent to the bed.
Location: This Airbnb is located in the middle of Waikiki. Amazing location next to tons of ABC stores, beach, restaurants, and shopping area. We didn’t rent a car long-term during our stay so this was important for us. There are also plenty of Biki bike stations nearby (similar to Lyft Citi bikes) to help you get around.
There’s ongoing construction on the exterior of the building. We worked with Unai and Tony to come to a compromise during our stay. They were both kind and responsive which we greatly appreciated.
