I stayed from 8/26/22 - 9/2/22. Lia and Brian are great hosts! Very communicative and easy to work with. The check in/out process was also very easy.
I admit I'm pretty OCD about cleaning so it might just be me, but the unit itself could use a better cleaning and some updates. Cleaning especially around the light switches, electrical outlets, and vents. The wall paint is scuffed in a lot of places just from use over time and the closet door sticks a bit.
However, it's got basically everything you'd need in the kitchen and bathroom. Just FYI, there's a mini tabletop ironing board in the condo, not a full size board. Lia tried to find a full size one when I noticed the ironing board was missing, but they were out of stock. The small closet is filled with cleaning supplies, a small luggage dolly, and beach equipment - great amenity items for guests! But if you're looking to hang clothes it's a tight fit. Also, if you have long dresses like me, they'll probably hit the floor or some of the stuff inside the closet.
The best part of this unit was the assigned garage parking. It's not a secured garage, but I felt very safe parking my car there and walking to/from the condo using the elevator, which is close to the parking spot.
If you're looking for a Waikiki vacation, it's a wonderful location - very close to the International Marketplace with a McDonald's and bento spot right next door in either direction. If you're needing a place to stay while exploring Oahu, it's not bad. With the exception of a few days, it was pretty easy to get in/out of Waikiki from there.
The building itself seems to be a mix of residents and visitors. You could hear music from outside at night through the closed balcony doors, but it didn't bother me. The blackout curtains helped a lot with the direct afternoon sunlight, but it's a great spot to watch sunset and the Friday night fireworks.
It's a smaller place, so definitely good for just one person or two people who like each other a lot. I'd definitely stay at one of Lia and Brian's properties again, though I'd prefer one that was more recently updated.
