Place was mostly as expected other than a few minor details here or there. I would say meets the bare minimum of an airbnb. Few down sides: no beach towels available, room was next to a building where they stored trash which does not get collected on weekends so gets a little smelly by Monday, building next to a few hostels so sometimes a little loud at night where you can hear music from the streets in your room, walls are thin so woken up a few times by loud neighbors coming home at the wee hours of the morning, no iron (even though we contacted the owner requesting one but was never dropped off), response time was ok in the beginning when booking but dwindled once we were there and he never actually responded about late check out despite multiple attempts at contacting him, view from balcony is of the parking garage/trash area/streets/hostel. Pros: very close to the beach as describe and many other convenience stores and restaurants, price was acceptable for what you get I guess. Prob wouldn'tstay here again but if on a budget I guess beggars can't be choosers. Nonetheless, mahalo. you don't really come to Hawaii to stay in your room anyway, enjoy the island!
