The condo was exactly (better than) the way it's pictured. Perfect crash pad for the 3 of us. The condo can take 4 easily with 2 on the pullout and 2 on the main bed. 5th person could be a stretch but there's space to crash on the floor! The pull out bed was actually quite large and could easily sleep me without the pullout (I'm 6'2). The bed in the room was super comfy. Super clean except the dusty pull out bed. But we never really ended up using it anyway. The condo is on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor building. No lift but really not a big deal getting up or down.
Location is perfect if you want to be in the thick of the action at waikiki and yet withdraw to a quite place. The lanai has a beautiful street view and partial diamond head view and is very windy. Everything within Waikiki is a walk away. ABC stores all around the place. Dedicated parking was such a boon. Even if you don't get dedicated parking, there's a public parking lot at the Waikiki zoo a minute away.
Beach is 2 minutes away. Getting onto the highways and coastal roads for all your roadtrips is super accessible too.
All the basic stuff you need is within the condo - beach and bath towels, 1 set of toiletries, coffee stuff, microwave, fridge, gas + oven, iron + board, cable TV. WIFI is super stable, AC is efficient. Shower head needs a bit of servicing but works pretty alright even without it. Lots of cutlery, glasses.
The Oahu guide book that Mark left us was so so useful. We landed in Hawaii without a proper itinerary but this guide really took good care of us.
Super safe neighbourhood too. There are 3 hotels around and the security guys from those keep circling around to make sure all's good.
Hassle free check-in and checkout. Thank you Mark for hosting us. Our trip to hawaii was perfect and the condo had such a big part to play in it :)
I spent a lot of time researching waikiki before settling on this one so for anyone else researching their stay in Waikiki, I'm happy to help - demitriaspais@gmail.com (Not sure if Airbnb will display this).
