Had a nice stay at Yan’s place. It’s in a good location, walk 20ish minutes to Waikiki beach and similar walking distance to Ala Moana shopping center. The sunrise view is gorgeous from the apartment, and Yan has put in efforts to ensure guests have a comfortable stay. The host is easy to communicate with and very friendly as well.
Some cons:
- The apartment building is old (so are the other condos in this area) and long waits for the elevator.
- The room is good for two people/couples (although the listing says the place can accommodate 4 people). It’s a tiny apartment and we struggled to keep/open our three suitcases.
- The futon is very uncomfortable, they have provided an air mattress which other guests have mentioned is far more comfortable but I struggled to find a place to inflate and keep it.
- The cleaning lady just barged in one day when we were resting in the apartment.
If you’re a couple and looking for a place close to Waikiki in a decent budget, this place will not disappoint.
