Ala Wai House is a great place to stay in a convenient area! Though the unit is small and you have the bare necessities, my sister and I always felt safe. The rooftop is a cute place to hang out with a good view and all the residents we ran into were very friendly. We genuinely grew to love the area and complex.
I would say the only con is it can be loud. I could never sleep through the garbage trucks. But if you’re used to city noises then it might not bother you.
Lastly, Denise is amazing! Accommodating, friendly, and caring. She was there to help whenever we needed something. Overall, I would completely recommend staying here! Every place has pros and cons but you can’t beat an awesome host and nice area.
