Take's place is easily the best, most well-curated Airbnb experience I've ever had. You can tell Take puts thought and consideration into every single detail of this place, from the live-edge dining counter, the lanai setup, artwork and photos, and especially the bathroom style! (Loved the standup shower, instahot and good water pressure)
Take's 1br condo on an upper floor of the Ni'ihau is in the most perfect Waikiki location imaginable - 1 minute walk to beach, 1 minute walk to Ft. Derussy parking, 30 second walk to shave ice and the best chicken katsu in Waikiki (just downstairs), 1 minute walk to Longs, 2 minute walk to the In Between (best most intimate drinking karaoke experience in Waikiki), 3 minute walk to Marukame Udon (hella long line but goes by fast, best most fresh Udon in the states, period) - so close to literally everything and yet Take's condo is on the quiet side of the building. Very little street noise.
His place is immaculately kept, super clean. This is the most important aspect of any Airbnb and Take hits the nail on the head with cleanliness every time. The condo has a washer and dryer inside which is a huge plus. The AC unit blows super cold and is located in the living room. Although there's no AC in the bedroom, the shoji screen doors are wide and if kept open cool air can reach the bedroom to make it plenty comfortable. There is also a ceiling fan, and a place to hang some clothes.
I will never stay at a hotel in Waikiki for the rest of my life as long as Take's place is available. Thanks, Take!!
