To start off, the location is perfect, right behind the main street. It's an easy walk to just about anything on Ali'i Drive and the beach. However, there were a few issues with the unit. The first being, it was not very clean, when we walked on the floor the bottom of our feet was discolored from the amount of dirt. The pillowcase on arrival had black strikes all over it and some of the silverware had food on it. We ended up spending the next day cleaning because we didn't feel comfortable and we also didn't have anywhere to go (there were no other airbnbs available for our time frame) so we had no choice but to stay. We contacted the host, which is a management company, and they addressed the issues by offering the cleaner to come back and clean but we didn't have time or feel comfortable for someone to do so while we were occupying the apartment. We were on vacation and didn't want to deal with such matters. We asked for the cleaning fee refunded but they refused to refund it. Also, we found only two toilet paper rolls, one paper towel, and no trash bags, we stayed 12 days and didn't feel that was sufficient for 12 days. We contacted management again, which they stated they only offer a "starter kit". I've stayed at many airbnbs and this is the first time I ever experienced this. They did drop off some extras after we inquired which was appreciated but an Airbnb should supply for the whole stay, at almost $200 a night, after everything, we shouldn't be running to get essentials.
Another thing that we were not made aware of was the amount of noise, there is some construction going on in the building so we could hear all of it going on. On Sunday's the church would ring the bell at 7am and singing occurs all day long. This building is directly behind the church so it can be heard causing an early wake up call.
