Maurie was responsive when we asked for recommendations on what to do around the area. The building is outdated and old but the inside of the condo is as pictured except for color change in bedding. The host gave us a box of chocolate on the table as a welcome gift when we first entered the room which is a nice gesture. We saw some extra towels and ice coolers in the closet which is convenient. If you want to save money on lodging then this space is alright as far as having the basics. Keep in mind if you want something that looks newer like from a normal hotel like Laylow you are spending more money. We did a comparison and Laylow can cost roughly $488 per night after taxes/fees!!! Please make sure to read all the details about the place before booking so you know what to expect (this includes taking out your own trash. We didn’t have an issue with this but just wanted to point this out again) . Location is great in terms of being within walking distance from Waikiki beach, ABC store, zoo parking lot, and Dennys. I highly recommend reaching out to the host to get reserved parking within the building so you are guaranteed a spot (you need to pay extra of course like $30 a day or so). We made the mistake of taking a chance on public street parking and also public garages so we find ourselves a bit stressed out everyday trying to find a parking spot but that was our choice. We did feel skeptical upon seeing the building initially but we didn’t have any bad experience with the stay.
