Just stayed here for my trip in Oahu from 08/10-08/18/21 and had a fantastic time. Here's a list of pros and cons that I hope other travelers looking to book this location will find helpful.
Pros:
- Check in: extremely smooth. The attendant at the front desk was very helpful and the door to the AirBnB is a self-check in system, requiring a code to enter.
- Hygiene: very clean. ALSO THE TOILET HAS A BIDET!!!
-Location: prime location. Within walking distance of the International Marketplace, 7 minutes away from Ala Moana shopping center, and within at most 10-15 minutes of the best food possible. Leonard's bakery is only a 10 minute drive away. Beach is also close by as well, but not within walking distance.
-View: gorgeous gorgeous view of the city.
-Communication: Upon arrival, my friend and I found a few minor damages in the AirBnB incurred from other tenants and we notified Ali'l Beach Rentals. They replied quickly and sent someone to fix the damages ASAP.
-A/C: very strong and cool A/C. Was able to rest very comfortably because of the A/C.
Cons:
- Space: Like a few others have mentioned, this AirBnB is a bit on the smaller end. It's enough for a traveling couple, but a bit on the cozier end. I went with a friend and my friend slept on the bed while I slept on the couch. The bed seemed a bit small for 2 people, especially if one person tends to move around while sleeping. I actually prefer sleeping on couches a lot of times too and so the couch was perfect for me. My friend also did say the bed was a bit uncomfortable at first but got better after a while. The bathroom is a bit cramped as well, with only enough space for one person to use it at a time.
- Parking: $35/day. This actually seems to be cheaper than most other places. The parking structure is also small and a bit hard to drive through. I recommend going to the topmost floor of the structure (5th floor) and parking your car there since there are fewer cars.
Overall:
I would definitely book this AirBnB again. I highly recommend this for solo travelers, but if you are traveling in a party of two and don't mind a slightly smaller space, then I recommend you book this as well. Happy travels!
