The stay here was even better than expected. You absolutely cannot beat the location or view. We were close enough to everything we wanted to do yet far away enough from noisy party places. The balcony view was truly stunning; the photos can't do it justice. The bed was the perfect combination of firm and soft. I appreciated the extra pillows with different softness levels. The apartment came stocked with everything we needed, including extra towels and a set of snorkeling gear. The A/C worked well. The TV was big enough and clear. It was nice to be able to watch a movie in bed after long days of exploring and swimming. The curtains did a good job of blocking out light when we wanted to sleep in but it was also lovely to wake up to the bright beautiful view when we left the curtains up.
I am a big girl (writing from my boyfriend's account) with a skinny boyfriend. This was a stop for us moving from South Korea back to the U.S. so we had a lot of bags. We were both very comfortable with the amount of space in the apartment. There are a lot of smart storage spaces (like the extendable table under the TV). The bed and shower were both comfortable for us as well. The entire apartment was very clean.
Alexei was a wonderful host that responded quickly. There was a book in our room that helped us decide what to do while in Hawaii and gave booking info. The hotel staff was very kind to us and helped us call taxis and book a few other activities. Alexei was also very kind to allow us a late check-out which was very helpful.
I saw that some other guests had trouble with the club noise. I heard the club on Friday night but not any other night. The noise was barely noticeable if you closed the doors to the balcony and impossible to hear if you turned on the quiet A/C.
I highly reccomend this apartment for solo travellers or couples staying in Waikiki.
