This place was clean and adequate for a brief stay. I assumed "renovated" meant recently, the place was old, out dated and showing a lot of wear and tear and in much need of TLC. Examples: shower and window curtains not correctly hanging, noisy and dirty bathroom vents, cables and cords showing and not dressed neatly, old tables and chairs, baseboards not secured to the walls, empty body wash dispensers and towels that had a strong fragrance like they were washed in very strong soap. The good; for the most part it was pretty clean and the location was good. Plenty of food within walking distance. It was easy to check in and out and the rooms were ready early. If you are looking for a place to sleep and shower for a day or two, it will serve your need. If you are expecting the Ritz this isn't the place for you.
Well, here is the honest truth (the good, the bad, and the ugly) about this Vrbo Rental in Waikiki:The Good: Fantastic view of Waikiki and of the beaches from a distance. Great location within walking distance of Waikiki beach, great restaurants and parking at Ala Wai Boat Habor Parking lot. Air conditioning does keep room cool. Regrigerator is small in one room but it functions well and freezes water in bottles.The Bad: Noisy location where you can hear traffic and sirens even though you're on the 38th floor. Noisy air conditioner in room. Very tight space in the room and no space for clothes storage. Limited lighting in main room. Burnt out light bulb in bathroom with very poor lighting. The Ugly: Must pull shower valve out with a lot of force to get water to flow. Shower very tight space with plastic curtain. Mirror has damaged areas around the edges. Vent fan in bathroom is dirty, noisy, and does not remove steam from bathroom. Body wash container in shower unusable – can't extract any body wash liquid. Caulking around shower stall was quite messy and very poorly done – obviously not done by a professional. The room with an oven, has a very old stove with electric burner elements – this should be tossed in the dumpster!Overall, although we were pleased with the location in Waikiki, we regretted booking this Vrbo rental because the room was too small, noisy, and not “renovated” in a professional manner. I do not recommend this one.
Rooms were comfortable and the view is great! Owner is very responsive and helpful. Units had everything we needed for our week stay. Recommended!
Smaller than I imagined, but adequate for our short stay. Would not have worked if we were staying a week or more
We stayed at the two adjacent units. Our sister in law and brother in law had the larger "A" studio and we had the "B" studio. The communication from the owner was wonderful, as she occasionally checked in to see if everything was fine and if there was anything we needed. The check in process, getting our keys was very seamless. Our only comment would be that the units could benefit from a little update. Everything else was perfect. Mahalo!
Adjoining rooms worked great for our group. They are basic rooms, but clean and well maintained. Beach access within a 15 minute walk with lots of food options.
Great location to explore Waikiki. Reasonable rental car location in lobby.
This option worked well for easy access to downtown and Waikiki Beach. There is a main security door for the space and individual security doors for the two rooms, which can be left open. Both rooms were well equipped and clean. The views were great and the location made morning runs easy. Thanks for sharing your condo units!
Quiet place ! Enjoyed staying there
