Not my usual Airbnb experience. This is just a rental unit in what appears to be entire bldg of rental units You can coin op rent a bbq on the pool deck or do coin laundry on the floor (one of each appliance). Kind of adult dorm living lol . I guess that’s ok as really In Hawaii you’re out doing things only sleeping and showering there Mostly. So here are the basic ups and downs.
PROS—great location near Waikiki shops restaurants beaches and sites. There’s a decent coffee breakfast place as well as a mini mart on site. And the garage is attached and guarded. As for the apt it has a serviceable kitchen and the bathroom has a japanese toilet if you like that.
CONS—you can walk in and up to any floor/apt door. That said had no security issues They were replacing the devastated hallway carpet while there which definitely helped. The elevators were really slow, I waited 5-10 for one most of the time over the week. The carpet and furniture in apt could use updating. The AC unit was challenged entire time....it was cooler in the hallway or garage then the apt. No blackout blinds so the sun lights it up morning to night /no sleeping in. And it’s warm. The pool/ deck functions but very basic. There are some well used beach chairs on deck but didn’t use em. There’s a safe which is a pro but it was already locked and only instructions were in Japanese.
