We stayed for 6 weeks during the summer, so we got to know the unit and location well.
First of all: Mae is a wonderful host: communication was always clear and very fast. We truly appreciate that she quickly accommodated our need to extend a few days for family matters. She provided many items that you hate to buy while on vacation: trash bags, laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, etc. There were some welcoming snacks, coffee and other items.
Things we especially liked: the location is great. Close to the corner of University Ave and King, there are many food/shopping choices available within short walking distance. It was easy to jump on the H-1 freeway either direction. You can quickly get to Kapahulu, Kapiolani, UH and Waikiki. The designated (free) parking spot was great. The unit was very clean when we moved in and tastefully decorated. The wall unit A/C's in each of the two bedrooms worked very well and were needed. All 3 beds are "memory foam" and were comfortable. Everything worked (appliances, plumbing, etc) while we were there.
A couple of things we wished we would have known: We have stayed in Honolulu every summer for decades (my wife is a local girl who needs to recharge her "Hawaii batteries"), so we are more than familiar with the heat and humidity of Hawaiian summers. This summer was especially difficult. The living room/kitchen area heated up as the day progressed and at times was almost unbearable. Fans were not much help. Frequently, we would take walks at night just to escape the heat. When we returned, we would run to the comfort of the bedroom A/C's. Our daughter, who was staying with us and was 7 months pregnant, needed to be relocated to another place that was fully air conditioned. I certainly can't blame Mae for this summer's heat/humidity. I just wished we had known in advance. Another item: the place is a bit small for a 2 bedroom. Each bedroom is about 10' by 10' or a little less. For our 6 week stay, it felt a little cramped.
Some reviews have commented about the noise. We've stayed all over Honolulu and found this place no noisier than most. It's an urban setting with high density, so yes, there will be some noise, but that comes with the location. The sounds from the laundry area (next to our unit) are limited to 8 am to 10 pm, so we had no problem with that.
I would have no reservations about returning to this place during another season and for a shorter stay. Thank You Mae.
