Owen was a great host and willing to accommodate our schedule even though we checked in rather late! One thing that rather caught us off guard was the bare bones accommodations. It's still a great value, but as one of the most inexpensive places to stay on Waikiki you do get what you pay for. (Keep in mind that the free parking is worth easily $20/day.) While it has a kitchen, there is no microwave and no utensils, dishes, or pots and pans. We got some aluminum pans to do some cooking in. Also, the toilet looks like it was designed for a child. And while it's not on the list of amenities, lack of WiFi is unusual. Also, there was construction on the buildings next door and the equipment rolled by right outside our front door, making it impossible to sleep in on a weekday in October 2015. In hindsight it may not have been the best place for us because we didn't spend a lot of time in Waikiki. But if you want to walk to the beach or shopping, this is an excellent location!
