The apartment is what you see in the photos. It´s very clean (the most important aspect for me), organized, and offers some kitchen appliances that help a lot. The location is close to literally everything, including buses and a minute away from the Waikiki beach.
Mark was extremely professional, responsive, and helpful. Great host!
Overall, I would highly recommend a stay there.
Cons:
- a bit noisy during the night. If you´re a light sleeper, better to bring earplugs, not a big deal though. The isolation of the apartment is great but if you open the windows it will be very noisy.
- not really dark during the night. Lights were getting into the apartment from the kitchen window. Again, not a big deal but good to keep in mind.
- very limited parking and expensive (around $27/night). There is parking in nearby streets but it might not be 100% safe. One car near mine had its glasses broken during the night, so, better pay for parking.
- the mattress is good but it is a bit plush. I generally prefer firmer mattresses.
