This place is SMALL. Perfect for one person, tight for a couple and all our stuff -- you're not trying to spend too much time at home when you're in Hawaii anyway!
Pros:
- WATER FILTER on the sink. You can never underestimate how important it is to have clean water. You can also make ice with ice trays in the freezer. (But, the red light was flashing on it so I'm pretty sure the filter needed to be changed ><)
- GREAT location in Waikiki but not so deep in that it's too crowded. Walking distance to bars/restaurants/shopping.
- Laundry! We got to get clean beach clothes & towels to go back out to the water!
Cons:
- The plumbing is very old... the shower head looks like it needs to be cleaned of hard water and the toilet sings you the song of it's people every time it's' flushed (not great if you have to go while someone else is sleeping)
- NO PARKING. Parking in Waikiki is TERRIBLE. You can either try to find Meter parking (which is like only for 2-3 hrs 6am-10pm. Meaning if you park overnight, you have to wake up and move the car or pay at 6 am.) or you can try to park for free on Ala Wai Blvd (which is EXTREMELY limited and has street sweeping Monday/Fridays 8:30am -11:30am... don't forget & get a ticket, they WILL give you one not even 5 min later)
But we did have a very easy time checking in / out and any problems didn't bother our trip too much. This was a decent home base to regroup and refresh while enjoying the beautiful island!
