Best part about the place is definitely the location. Pretty central in Waikiki, with a very short walk to all beaches nearby. Also a short walk to Honolulu and shopping which are both nice to have. The balcony is probably the best part of the unit itself. Amazing view of diamond head and small views of the Waikiki beach. Great place to have your meals and enjoy a great view.
Now, here’s some of the issues. The biggest issue was that the host definitely did not do a great job cleaning the place prior to our long term stay. The carpet is extremely gross, the floors were dirty, and we had to personally deep clean the place early on in our stay to not feel gross. There was also a bug problem. We found a new bug every single day near or in the dishwasher and no matter how much we tried to contain them, they wouldn’t stop. There must be a nest somewhere and the host should call an exterminator. Also, communication with them was not the best. They were not very responsive early on during our stay, but they did get better later on when we messaged them about other issues that came up.
Overall, I’d recommend this place if you want a high floor unit centrally located in Waikiki with some decent amenities. But you have to be okay with the sub-par cleanliness and potential bug problems. Both are addressable so ideally the host takes action and fixes them for their next guest.
