Pluses: The apartment was very clean and it is a short walk to Waikiki beach-- which was nice. Minuses: This is way too small to be advertised as fitting 6 people, especially if they are adult size. I would never bring little kids to this apartment because it's on the 10th floor, and the door to the balcony doesn't lock. It's super noisy at night from the cars on the street below. The oven only heated up to 350* so when we cooked most of our food it took forever-- like pizza. The AC is in the main bedroom, and it barely cools down the tiny apartment. There was a fan in the other room that blew a lot of warm air around. It was not comfy at night because the AC is loud and the apartment is mostly hot in the other rooms. The toilet was having flushing issues the first day we were there, and I tried to contact the manager and I left a message for help. I heard nothing back, so my son fixed the toilet so we could actually use it. We've stayed in a lot of AiBNBs and this was probably our least favorite.

The place was great for what we were needing. Fans and stove are a bit outdated but they work and we3 loved every minute of our vacation.

Place was clean and spacious for the little time we spent in it. The pool was nice to cool off in before bed. Beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a kitchen. Views were beautiful! There are no locks on any inside doors so private moments (showering, toilet, intimacy) were difficult. Parking height is only 6'2" so the car we rented didn’t fit in the garage. Parking each night was a nightmare and really put a damper on things at the end of everyday. We tried switching our rental to a shorter van but nothing was available. This would have been good information to have been given before we decided to rent. Also, small things like garbage liners that actually fit the kitchen garbage can would have made things nicer.

Our accommodation was just okay, and far too costly for the poor management communication and amenities offered. From the time of reservation, we received a series of emails with disjointed and fragmented instructions listing only a portion of the information needed to make our stay more comfortable. We were emailed three separate times to confirm exact check in time and submitted our information several times in provided links/forms/portals. The same occurred during check out. Additionally, we received strange texts near the end of our stay trying to correct a guest’s behavior through apparent real-time camera monitoring? Very poor communication from beginning to end. Next, the A/C situation was quite poor. There was a small A/C unit in one room, and even with the doors open all day long, the other rooms were sweltering. Lastly, the apartment is in need of a good cleaning. The floors were quite dirty, and the couches in the common area were old and dirty. The location was convenient for Waikiki and the view from the apartment was nice. Overall though, we expected more for the price.

Nice place ,but a little dated. The wind made the patio door and bedroom windows rattle alot We really enjoy our visit, since we just used it for a place to sleep and breakfast in the morning

The view from the master bedroom is amazing. Lots of traffic noise and sirens from police vehicles. Very old condo that is in need of some love. Stove is in ruff shape. It served our purpose and in no way effected our vacation in a negative way. Short walk to Waikiki, maybe 5 minutes.

It is a good location with a great view and only a couple blocks to the beach which is perfect if you just want to walk there or to the shops. The place is pretty worn and dated though. It is right on the main street, so it is loud all night and there are a lot of homeless people that will sleep outside.

View was amazing and matched the pictures posted. The pictures of the condo were shot in a very forgiving light.

Great location. Great views it was really close to everything from beach to convenient stores. Aside from the Wi-Fi and cable being down more than half of our stay it was great I would definitely choose this place again.

Run down compared to advert. Mouldy shower a disgrace. Views are superb. Apartment is badly in need of a makeover.

This property was close to everything and had a nice view of the canal and the golf course. Property didn't have some of the amenities area hotels offered but we were able to use nearby 24 hour fitness to workout while our stay so it wasn't a deal not having a gym. Overall we were very happy with the location and the property so we would consider staying at the property again.

Property old and in need of some repairs. We had to purchase a coffee maker as there wasn't one. Left it in condo.

Having never been to Waikiki, it was difficult to imagine the relative proximity and general setup of everything beforehand, as well as to imagine April’s weather. The photos of the property made it look large and comfortable when in fact the bathroom was a two-pocket-door closet and the bedrooms (and squeaky beds) were tiny, as was the galley kitchen. The property location was a healthy walk to many places we wanted to be, and the parking garage was treacherously tight. All that said, we had everything we needed for the few days we were there, and were relatively comfortable. Our biggest complaint was the sliding glass door: it was extremely windy during our stay, and the door shook so badly and loudly we all wore ear plugs to sleep. While we probably wouldn’t stay there again, it suited our needs.

The place was affordable and listed as described. It rained on us so having the washer & dryer inside the unit was a bonus! It's loud but expected it since Ala Wei is a major street. The bottom of the shower could use scrubbing. Overall it was a great location & the 6 of us fit comfortably. Mahalo!

not worth the money spent, would not stayagain

The place was just as described... Pool is only maybe 7 foot wide though. We did struggle with stuck door and eventually entire door knob broke and we never could get anyone to fix it and dealt with struggling to get in for a week. The parking spot has incredibly low clearance and we could not park in parking spot and no other parking available we left with a total of five parking tickets over our 2 week stay. But overall it was a nice stay.

Amazing place, central location, private, love the view. It was a plus with the washer and dryer and the kitchen essentials, nice place to stay.

Property was as listed. Check-in was a bit frustrating because the code to the lock box wasn't updated. Thank goodness for the 24 hour support line (we checked in just before 11 pm). Location was great, a few blocks from the beach and main street of Waikiki. Unfortunately renovations were underway during our stay so we weren't able to use the pool during the days however it was open on weekend so we managed to get in a BBQ/pool day on Sunday. All in all, the unit had everything you need for a comfortable stay, i.e. dinnerware, pots and pans, utensils, beach towels, washer/dryer, etc.

We found the unit exactly as it appeared on the website. It was conveniently located. All linens, towels and paper goods were provided. There was even a washer and dryer. I would recommend this rental to others.

The property was very clean and provided our family of four with everything we needed for our 6 night stay in Waikiki. It is well located with just a short walk to Waikiki Beach and shopping. Unfortunately for myself and my husband sleeping in the room which looks towards the beautiful golf course was a thumbs down. Despite being on the 10th floor the road traffic below is so loud and constant, that if feels like you are staying on the ground floor.

The property was perfect for our family of six! It had a great view, was close to the beach, the beds were comfortable, check in was easy, property owner was very prompt and helpful with our questions. I would highly recommend this property to others! The only complaint, if you can call it that, is the patio door shook all night long, making it difficult to sleep. Also, not being from HI, we did not know that the stores do not have plastic or paper bags available. Maybe that would be something you alert renters to. You may have, but we missed it. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice mountain view. Reasonably priced. Undergoing upgrades. Good location to the strip.

We struggled with fobs and doors to get into the place, and there were not enough key/fob combos for our group to ever split up, but otherwise had a good stay. Of course super convenient to the beach and shopping. which is the whole point to staying in Waikiki! Great view of canal, golf course, and Honolulu - every morning we were greeted with a rainbow! Could use two more dining chairs and a few more towel racks. Bedding was clean and comfortable

Not a pleasant neighbourhood hookers and homeless everywhere, even though it’s 1 block from the beach. Only 2 elements on the stove worked and it was old and not really clean.

I have spent wonderful 5 days in this room. I almost no need air conditioning because of breeze flowing into. Dishes in kitchen were clean. Linens were fancy and clean. If I have a chance to stay Honolulu again, I want to book here!

This was a terrific location an easy walk from the beach and close to bus lines if you want to explore Honolulu. Terrific view from the windows and small balcony over the canal and a golf course. Lots of thoughtful amenities for the beach waiting in the closet as well. Loved having the locked parking garage with a reserved space included (gate opens conveniently with a key fob), so we felt that the rental car was safe. You are near the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach, so if you walk straight up the the beach you arrive at the site of a free Hula show several nights a week at Kuhio Beach Park. The property is not new, but it is in good shape.

Would have been nice to check in early and leave late. But other then that it was all good nice having the mats and umbrella and beach wagon. Nice touch. Don’t want to leave. 😎

Very nice property in a secure building. Great location convenient to beach and store.

This condo is in a great location just 3 blocks from the beach. The directions were clear and we had no trouble. It's so nice having a kitchen and extra space with a family and the parking spot was a lifesaver. You are on the 10th floor so it was windy and the street traffic still loud, but I think you'll get that most places. Overall a great choice.
