It was a handy location but the noise from the 4 land highway below was constantly loud.
We were also visited by rodents
The place wasn't cleaned, as I mentioned before: there were leftovers and rotten fruit in the refrigerator as well plastic 6 ring can. In the bathroom was a damp towel, it was still damp!To make things worse, while I was making the bed on the next day there was stains from body fluid in the sheet. I have asked multiple times for extra sheets prior arriving, in which the host confirmed for air mattress. After creating a complain with VRBO, the host offered to dropped off the sheets on next day in which I declined since we already had bought one. The host also offered to clean the apt after our arrival, I declined for few reasons: it was my family, our vacation, and the apt should have been cleaned before we arrived, not during. To my surprise even after declining the sheets, they entered in the place without notifying us. It gave us a very uncomfortable, and unsafe feeling. I looked for other bookings but we were stranded.On top of all of this small details such: there was no kitchen towel, no shampoo (only conditioner), and garbage disposal did not work, washing the dishes was brutal; and no broom to sweep the floor.I was notified the day of arriving that pesticides were being spread in the unit. I asked several times not to, to do afterwards. The host did not reply once regarding this matter. Ignored my request and once again entered the unit. I have requested refund, pics has been sent, and no word yet from management.
Dirty property with cockroaches and mold. Couldn’t stay there. Looking back a year in the reviews the cockroaches have been problems before. Very disappointing.
Neither expedia nor the owner has been willing to resolve the problems or return money.
Best thing was location if you are used to city traffic. Otherwise the noise from traffic can keep windows closed. And column fan, ceiling fan and little portable fan not enough to keep place cool in summer. Needs proper air con.
Property also needs more kitchen tools like grater, peeler, and more cutlery.
Difficult to sweep and mop with little throw-away cloth style broom. Floor was not clean enough on arrival.
Needs vacuum cleaner to clean properly if you are going to beach. Bathroom sink needs to drain better. The plunger didn't clear it with many tries.
Otherwise great view, close to public transport and comfortable.
We stayed 3 nights this unit in waikiki is a great place - we had lot of fun. Very clean and everything you needed is provided by the host. You can just walk to the beach and restaurants very close by. We loved it.
Very walkable to beaches, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops. Only drawback is the noise from traffic. If you are a heavy sleeper, you will be fine. The city never sleeps. Great views of the canal, mountains and park. Highly recommend the Polynesian Culture Center and driving the North Shore along with Pearl Harbour. We used Uber lots and very efficient.
The location was ideal for getting around Waikiki and for catching the bus to travel throughout the island. There are multiple bus lines within a 3 minute walk from the location. It was truly an awesome experience.
Central location, bus pass makes it easy to get around
The property is in walking distance to everything the, 24 hour parking, not far at all, along the 34 hour convenience store. (7/11). Mobile food truck meet up on a daily basis. A great stay.
Overall wasn’t impressed with the property’s cleanliness as I saw a few roaches in the kitchen.
We were there for a few weeks in June. Our experience was overall very good. The apartment provides enough space for 3 adults.
+easy check-in
+good communication before and during the stay
+close to the highway
+close to groceries stores/shopping mall
+close to beaches and downtown, which can be easily reached by foot
+beautiful view from the lanai towards the canal and mountains
+beach towels and plenty of shower towels available.
+washer and dryer on the same floor
+drop-off zone in front of the entrance
-no parking (see harbor parking, about 7-10 minutes walk or parking on the block but very expensive $40-45 a day)
-apartment is located on a busy street and can be blended out with earplugs
-dish set was not complete as shown in the picture. We only had one glass.
Due to facility problems we did not have hot water for a few days and it took a few days to fix. The elevators also broke down. However, this was repaired within a day.
We would definitely stay there again, mahalo!
The pros to this condo are:
The condo is in a good central location to attractions and view is beautiful. The condo was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The cons to the condo are:
The jealousies windows do not allow enough cool air in during the day as the sun can get pretty hot and the condo can become very uncomfortable to be in. So if you are a person that likes to be in a place that is extremely cool this is not going to be the place for you. It got pretty hot!
When I reached out to the host about this matter he did respond and say it is not advertised as having AC and offered to change out the portable fan. I did appreciate that. But that was not going to fix the issue. Being that I am from South Texas AC units are customary and I would have appreciated knowing that there was no AC in the condo when making my decision to book. I would recommend to the host to say that in the listing to clarify for future guests.
The condo is on a VERY busy street and it is not possible to sleep in past 6am because of the level of noise on the street. I also have to say there was no cleaning spung for the dish, and we also had to buy Filters were the coffee pot. There was no cleaning supplies, just dish soap.
Overall the host was very good at responding and the unit was clean but due to the heat in the condo and the noise level from being on a busy street this is not something I would choose again.
