We stayed for 11 nights with 3 people. We had three flat pillows and the sheets weren’t high quality. I thought they felt sandy but I realized they were just quite pilly. The bed or the bedding smelled like sweat.
I had to go to Costco to buy an extra two pillows, which I would have offered to leave, but when I asked if there was more than 3 rolls of toilet paper I was told to go to ABC to buy what extra I needed.
The listing indicated shampoo and soap- two little soaps and a tiny shampoo lasted 3 days and we had to buy more. I hope they save the large shampoo I bought for the next guest.
The bullet was nice to have to make blended drinks. I left some Hawaiian canned drinks and a sealed cocktail in the fridge for the next guest, however when I arrived the fridge was completely empty so it may be that they treat the place like a hotel and empty everything…yet don’t give any extra little soaps or towels.
I bought at $158 per night. The day after I booked I added an extra night which was $208 without any extra cleaning fees etc. In the end it was $224 a night with all the fees.
Warning it is on the fourth floor and you’ll have to navigate your luggage up the stairs.
The bedroom TV didn’t have Netflix installed and when I asked they said I’d have to use the apps that were already there. It looked like some previous guest hadn’t logged out of their HBO max so in was able to watch that.
The pros: the owner had fast communication, it was a good location, close to an amazing poke place and famous musubi, the free parking spot, boogie boards, surf boards, umbrellas etc to borrow. Close to the beach, close to international marketplace. There isn’t a good place to eat in the room, but the downstairs area was good for a three person meal. It was clean - no ants, no sand, no bugs.
When we stayed it seemed the complex was largely empty and it was rare we saw other occupants. I thought it would be noisy in this area of Waikiki but the portable air conditioning in the room was loud so it didn’t matter.
The building didn’t seem to have recycling
