Slightly prohibitive forewarning: a lot of residents smoke weed in the building, so there is a heavy marijuana aroma in the hall. If this is not something you’re comfortable with, that isn’t something the hosts can control, so use your own discretion.
If you’re capable of dealing with that, however:
Placido and his wife are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and made our stay easy and comfortable during our destination wedding getaway. They are absolutely super hosts who gave my wife and I local tips, and were always quick to respond.
The room is a small studio but comfortable for two with a soft cushy bed! The building is also all card secured, and there’s a lot of security around just in case. It really put me at ease. It’s pretty clean, and has a lot of extra supplies for cooking and cleaning if you need.
The building is about a 15-20 minute walk from waikiki beach, and there are a lot of shops in the lobby (shouts out to the guy at the coffee shop and bakery!) For guest convenience. I got good coffee and fresh baked muffins almost every morning.
10/10 stay, would choose this location again in a heartbeat and will suggest it to friends.
