Host:
Gina & James was exceptional! Clear & simple understandable instructions to find condo area. Even sent pictures of where to find the keys. I like the fact that do continue the level of excellence in there communication from beginning to end.
They also had binders of the Condo rules and Amenities, check-out procedures and a separate binder for the legal BnB documents. AWESOME!!!
Condo:
This condo unit is a corner unit. It is small but cozy with a beautiful view of Mauna side.
As advertised! The unit felt clean with no odors of any sort. Appliances were clean and all operational with utensils, a college fridge w/ ice tray, tiny sink and microwave enough for us to heat up our leftovers and make hot drinks. There is even a iron & vacuum available. You will need to bring your own paper towels or napkins, if needed.
Noise level:
You do hear the traffic going on due to the floor level we were on but didn’t bother us during the night due to the ambient noise of the A/C. You could slightly hear the neighbor conversations through the thin walls while in the bathroom but how do you need to be in there?
Parking:
Parking fees are extra and you will need cash for this: $40 first night & $35 thereafter as of 10/2022 and you do pay up front. Parking is limited to 4 flights but we did not experience any issues of not finding one during our stay.
Gina and James had all types of information pamphlets in the desk drawers about Waikiki. Closet beach access is about a 7-10 minute walk but do map it out, first. There are many public access to beaches.
Lobby:
The outdoor lobby area has a small cafe, coffee shop w/ pastries, a small Pizza & Burger shop & small convenient shop. Hours are limited. Right next door is chain convenient store open 24 hours.
IF you desire to be at the foot of the Waikiki day/night life (but not smack dab in the middle of it…) and yet have the convenience of getting out of the Waikiki traffic…this is the area to stay!
Much Mahalos!!!
