Arvis's place was delightfully located. It was a very simple 5 - 10 minute walk to Waikiki beach. It felt safe. The staff was friendly and helpful. Prior reviews noted that it was not as clean as some would have liked and/or that it contained an odor. We noticed none of that. It was clean and smelled just fine. Part of that may have been that the floors were recently updated. Upon our arrival, Arvis was quick to communicate with any questions we had. The check in process was smooth. The pool area was lovely. The place was close to shopping and restaurants. We had rented a car that we kept off site, but when we had it with us, there was generally enough on-street metered parking available. Having access to laundry was a huge bonus. The laundry was free, but you had to bring your own detergent.
We mentioned to Arvis some of the frustrating parts of the place: microwave and ice maker didn't work, AC in living room didn't work, no toaster, very small coffee maker for a place that sleeps six, not enough dishes for six, many outlets didn't work, lack of space for hanging towels, and no drying rack for dishes.
The bedroom had full glass doors and there was also a glass "window" between the bedroom and the bathroom so privacy was an issue. We were all one family so it didn't end up being too much of a problem for us, but we did have to devise a curtain for the glass "window" so as to gain some privacy in the bathroom. The bathroom did have a changing room with a large mirror and that was a nice feature.
The description mentioned a pull out sofa. Arvis told us that the bed had broken and, as an alternative, two air mattresses were provided. Initially the broken bed was disappointing to us, but the air mattresses proved to be sufficient and maybe better than a sofa bed.
As a recap, I would recommend his place. I would like to see a few minor upgrades (as mentioned in the paragraph of missing or broken items), but would stay there again in a heartbeat.
