10 years ago in our spring break days, this would have been 5 stars, but having to work remote and share a minimally equipped space between 3 adults during loud plumbing construction was not ideal. My biggest concern is that construction was not noted on the listing. **Please be aware this building will have ongoing plumbing construction with noise, contractor traffic and occasional sewer smell through most of May 2021**
We stayed 17 days at this rental near Waikiki.
Location: The location is perfect, ABC store on every corner, 2 blocks from the beach, close to many things you’d need during your stay, we were able to survive without a rental car for the first week before we needed to beat the crowd.
Cleanliness: apartment was very clean upon arrival, but it is an older condo and it shows it’s wear. I do wish the cleaning supplies were restocked for us (bathroom/kitchen cleaner). After beach, hiking/exploring and sharing one restroom, we had to clean often and the apartment was not well equipped.
Amenities: Kitchen was very nice and has all working appliances. Knives are sharp, cooking utensils available, but that’s about it, besides dish soap, cheap roll of paper towels, cheap 4 pack of TP, and the last few coffee filters, we had to stock/restock all we used. Didn’t bother cooking much as we did want to purchase cooking oils, seasonings etc. LIMITED BATH TOWELS. Sounds picky, but 4 towels for 3 adults for 3 weeks is not enough. We were forced to do laundry frequently. The laundry is very accessible at least, one door down on the same floor and the hotel/condo staff (security/front desk) are very helpful and can get you quarters. Weirdly there’s no recycle, but it seems normal for the area. I recommend buying a Brita filter if staying more than a few days. Balcony was great, AC and WiFI are solid.
Value: I chose this place because of its price point and location. It seemed to have great value for money, but I also deliberately passed on multiple stays that rightfully stated ongoing construction, I would have gladly paid $500 more for a construction free stay.
