Matt’s place is in a fantastic location, moments away from the beach and right on the main shopping strip. The place is very clean, well maintained, and includes all the amenities you would expect like a fridge, coffee maker, and AC. The bed is also extremely comfortable.
One side of the condo is a giant window which, to be honest, does not really have the best view (it overlooks an alleyway), but that was a non-issue for us and curtains can be closed for privacy.
If you’re renting a car, parking was also very easy. Right across the street is a parking lot that charges $1/hr. We were able to find parking there when we needed it, but it was full on the weekend and took us 15-20 minutes to snag a parking space then.
Shopping in the area is fantastic. Matt’s place is located at the end of the main street where all the shops are located, so there is some decent walking involved depending on the stores you want to visit, but we loved it.
And lastly, if you’re trying to save a little money on your trip, Matt's place has a fully-furnished kitchen with a fridge, hot plate (no oven/stove), microwave, and dishes/utensils so you can get groceries and do some basic cooking/eat in.
This was our first time using Airbnb and our first trip to Honolulu. Matt is a fantastic host and was very thoughtful in his messages up until our trip started and very responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend staying in one of Matt’s places, you will not regret it.
