Nothing is economical anymore-especially Hawaii. I needed a place that had a kitchen to use-not even a full kitchen but enough to make like eggs simple items-I was on another site and was very frustrated with all fees/taxes when a friend reminded me of Airbnb. I put in the island-kitchen and his unit was one of the options-I read the reviews but what sold me on it the MOST-I was not going to have my entire stay in the living room-like the couch/kitchen/bedroom option that seems very popular here-it was a real condo-nothing wrong with those studio options but I knew I liked things a certain way-BONUS washer and dryer is also in the unit so not having to have to find a place to do laundry-extra brownie points. The only downfall if you even want to consider it this, and for me it wasn't a big deal at all-I'm from San Diego is you drive to the beach-I do it at home. You’re in the business area of the town-but if you need groceries, forgot clothes, or want a Starbucks-the Walmart is right behind the building, next to the Ross and the Starbucks are almost literally across the street (2) of them from each other. The building is very well protected internally in the parking structure, to get in and out you must have a specific card-to get into the building from the outside, i.e.., parking garage you must have a key or go to the lobby-and from the street you must go down to the lobby. Anything and everything you need is in the unit. Wade also took the time to help explain things to me as I asked a question even as I was flying over-, I would use this condo each and every time I come to Oahu just because of the price, the comfort of everything around me and the owner-Wade is beyond understanding and truly answers any questions very quickly.
