The pictures do NOT lie! The apartment is staged exactly like an IKEA showroom, very stunning! The apartment, like many others in Downtown Waikiki, is a studio apartment. Nice and small, but it covers all of your needs perfectly.
The apartment is located along the Ala Wai canal and is close by the Main Street. Everything is walking distance from the apartment which is great if you’re looking to explore the Waikiki strip. The apartment is also private and secure, so you won’t have to worry about anyone breaking into the apartment during your stay.
The main bedroom is exactly as shown with a bed for two, can be three if you have a small child. The couch is comfy which was rarely used during our visit. The outside patio also has a dining table. We used this often to eat and enjoy the warm Hawaiian air. The patio overlooks the canal and the canal street, so you do get some nice views. The apartment does not face the sunrise or sunset, so we had no issues with glaring sunlight. The kitchen is small, with just a sink and a small electric stove. There is a microwave, which is located within the cabinet under the stove.
The bathroom is nice. Not very roomy, but again, not many apartments in Waikiki can accommodate large spaces. One thing to note, the shower is very low hanging. So if you’re taller than 5’10”, you may have a difficult time. Other than that, the bathroom area is great!
If you are renting a car during your stay, there is a parking garage located within the building. The parking garage is shared with the hotel, so there may be limited spaces. The parking is first-come-first-served, so you may want to park your car earlier in the evening as spaces get taken up after 8pm (based on our experience). There is a $35 fee for each day, which you pay only once per day as you leave the parking garage.
In all, our stay here was very nice! We enjoyed our visit to Honolulu and are grateful for staying in such a beautiful Airbnb. If you are looking to visit Honolulu, we definitely recommend staying here during your visit!
