Ashley was a great host during our stay. Fast response and lots of communication.
The place looked exactly like the photos, very clean. It fit my fiancé and I perfectly, the bathroom is a little small (sink, area around toilet, tub) so those who are taller and need more space, you might have to take that into consideration. However, it was just the right amount for my 200 Ib, 6’0 fiancé. You could fit 2 kids in the place, but I don’t know about 2 full adults (4 adults total), it’ll be pretty cramped with space for luggage and moving around.
The apartment/condo building seemed like it was on the older side, but the elevators worked fine and looked fine. This also didn’t bother us as much as Ashley’s place was up to expectations. But if your looking for a more modern/fancy apartment/condo feel outside of the room you’ll be in, just an FYI. Even with the upgrades Ashley made to her apt/condo (which is really nice, compared to the building itself) it’s an old building.
We ended up doing laundry twice and the machines worked fine, it is coin operated so we just went to a nearby store to exchange cash for coins. $2.00 for wash, $2.00 for dry. The location of the laundry is on the side of the building, outside of the gates in the parking area. I did get the “sketchy” vibe when doing laundry at night, but during the day time, completely fine.
Like everyone said, the convenience of the location is super nice, everything within walking distance in the heart of Waikiki. My fiancé and I decided to get out of the city area and rented a car, it was super hard to find street parking so we ended up paying for parking at Waikiki Banyan, $125 for a week which was pretty reasonable so make sure to calculate for that in your trip if you’ll have a car (which we highly recommend so you can see the whole island).
We had 2 bugs show up in the bathroom, but this is a tropical island and the building itself has design openings without window cover. So for us it wasn’t a big deal.
Overall 10/10, we had a great time, price of the place and the place itself was on point! The communication of the host was point. 🤙
