Overall, I stay on the island was fantastic. Lots of great family memories were made.
The unit, which is situated on the second floor of and older multi-story building, has a lanai area (about 15 feet by 4 feet wide) facing a very busy intersection. The unit itself is a bit small (probably ideal for 2 - 4 people max). Though there is a window in the living room area that we never once opened since there is not much of a view there (faces the other units directly behind it and therefore would not have very much privacy). The building, as previously noted, is outdated and very basic. It has a functioning elevator, trash shute and parking for units (the parking ceiling is very low...we had a stock jeep wrangler and had less than a foot to spare from the top).Dedicated parking space is tight, but doable.
As far as the feel or appeal of the unit...Well, it serves its purpose. Personally, I think it could use a little color and updating of furnishings / decor. It has a small kitchenette (not really a kitchen). Appliances all seemed to work fine. Utensils are practical. The kitchenette space, is very tight, however.
Bathroom is clean and appropriate. Good water pressure on shower. Fully stocked toiletries / towels.
Bedroom leads out to lanai area. Bedroom is a bit cramped with all the furnishings. Furnishings could use replacement with something a little newer and size-appropriate. Mattress is comfortable. Bedroom lanai has view of city buildings and street below. Sliding door is difficult to open / close (perhaps some wd40 or new door altogether). Lanai is adequate for eating and have a drink while overlooking the city and traffic below. Note, however that it is very loud...Sirens, honking, motorcycles revving their engines, and people screaming in the middle of the night were "normal" experiences for us. It will definitely detract from sleeping (at least it did for us).
about a 10-15 minute walk to beach in front of Hilton Village. Plenty of stores / restaurants within walking distance. Easy access in / out with vehicle.
Excellent communication from host. Wifi and cable tv included. No washing machine in unit, but has one in the building.
