My favorite things about the unit:
1. The view! It's really incredible! In the evening I enjoyed looking out on all the lights of the city, and in the morning I enjoyed sitting at the little dining table, eating my breakfast while watching sailboats out on the ocean and the sunrise sparkling on the canal.
2. The location. It's perfect if you want to walk around Waikiki and up to Ala Moana. Not far from the beach, surrounded by tons of good restaurants, and there's a really well-stocked 7/11 basically right next door if you want any random snacks at any time of day or night or realize you forgot to bring your toothpaste.
3. The host. He's extremely nice and even went out of his way to have the unit ready early for me to help accommodate my schedule! Check-in and check-out were extremely easy and convenient, and Nobu responded to all of my messages very quickly and helpfully.
4. The fact that it isn't just a bedroom: it's a little living space, complete with sofa and dining table. I found that very homey.
Some criticisms:
1. Despite the immaculate cleanliness of the unit, there were bugs when I was here, tiny ones that kept appearing in the kitchen, on the sofa, and on the dining table. I told the host about them, though, and he assured me that he hadn't known about the problem and will get a fumigator in to deal with them. He seems very responsive, so I have no doubt that he'll deal with it right away!
2. The bed is pretty hard. Not a big deal for some people, and I didn't mind much, but others might find it uncomfortable.
3. The kitchen amenities are a little sparse. I could have used a bit more silverware (I only found one fork, for example), I couldn't find any dish soap or a dish drainer, and I would have really loved some ice cube trays.
4. The fridge door has a tendency to not close fully, so I had to be careful every time I used it to make sure I didn't leave it ajar. Not a big deal, obviously, but guests should keep an eye on it.
The location and view really can't be beat, though. I'm disabled and have trouble getting around, so I was even able to get a great dinner and wonderful breakfast delivered from nearby restaurants to the lobby without having to wait for a table anywhere.
I'm not sure if I would want to stay here with another person, because the unit is a little bit small and my husband and I prefer a bit more space when we travel together, but it was perfect for a solo traveler.
