Disclaimer: We booked the AirBnb with the intention of only using it to sleep at night because we had excursion filled-days. If you are looking for a prime location but limited comfort then this place is for you.
We will give credit where credit is due — The location of this unit is fantastic. Right in the heart of Waikiki and a couple blocks from the beach, car rentals, water sport rentals, and good food.
There are several issues with this unit — The main one being the AC. It is very loud no matter what setting you change it to. This made it extremely hard to sleep. We’re not new to the AC game but this was for sure the loudest. We tried to utilize the AC as little as possible and even tried to sleep with the sliding door open but there is no screen door. If you don’t care about bugs or dust getting in then sleeping with the door open should be fine. Water would also continuously drip into a 5 gallon bucket on the balcony; the bucket was 1 inch away from being full by the time our stay concluded. The balcony is small and has two chairs and a table. We did not utilize this area much but just be aware that there is a large bucket there as well.
Other issues include a television with distorted images — images were in black and white in a moving stripes pattern. The curtains are very visibly ripped and dirty. The only outlet by the bed had one working plug so we had to charge our electronics using the AC outlet where our cords dangled.
The bathroom was fine. The kitchen area served its purpose. Closet was unorganized and had several broken (or taped up) hangers but we didn’t use this space.
All things considered, we made the best out of our stay and still enjoyed our time in Hawaii. The location really can’t be beat but we will be looking elsewhere next time.
