The room is as pictured small.
There is no dresser for clothes, but they do have a chair and a small couch so you could put your carry-on on top of

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here in order to move my daughter into her dorm room at University of Hawaii Monoa. The area of the property was good, although the parking garage was sketchy, and the lobby and elevators were a little run down.
On a positive note, we thoroughly enjoyed the condo itself. The main reason we chose this property was because of its location to the college as well as having a kitchen. While we did not want to be handcuffed to eating out for every meal, the kitchen was very useful. We enjoyed the view from the room as well as the amenities (microwave, toaster, pots /pans, beach towels, dishware, soap / shampoo).
Thank you so much for your hospitality.

This condo was the perfect place for my daughter & I to stay in Honolulu! It’s so cute, clean, well appointed and has an incredible view! We were able to park the car and walk everywhere we wanted to go downtown. Highly recommend!

The bathrooms had mold. The pictures look great but up close and in person the place isn’t as clean as I would like it to be. The location was amazing and the sights were gorgeous.

This property does have very good views however the decoration especially the bathroom is fainted and could do some work. There is no proper end to the bathroom tap and the water just riddles out even with the taps on full. As this is a privately rented accommodation the staff are not particularly helpful.

The view from PH402 was spectacular! From the mountains all the way to the ocean. The unit was terrific: clean, spacious, well appointed and centrally located. Walk to the beach and Ala Moana shopping. Maleko's coffee shop and pastries in the lobby was great.

Directions for checking in were clear and helpful. BEWARE OF PARKING! lot fills up! , as indicated, $40/day—Pay for your entire stay when you first drive in ( cash only!) we only paid for first three days— thinking we’d pay the next 4 days when we returned one evening only to discover the lot was full-nearest available lot was a long ways away!
There is a fair amount of street noise—surprising for being 40 floors up. View from living room/ kitchen/eating area is stunning. Watched fireworks, rainbows, and ocean views! Second bedroom actually has nicer view then master bedroom. Unit was clean and well maintained. Elevators were no problem—in our 8 days we rarely had much of a wait at all.
Location is good —many eating options in area. away from the big hustle and bustle of Waikiki Beach, but easy bus or 20-25 minute walk to beach or AlaMoana shopping center.
It ls listed as sleeping for 6–be aware there are two bedrooms with a double and single bed in each! Didn’t work the best for three couples—no pull out couch or hide-a-bed in living room.
All in all we’d recommend this unit.

Right on the bus line to go to Diamond Head. Close to pick-up point for the bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Nearby grocery store and food trucks. Perfect place to stay in Waikiki for a few days before our main trip to Maui.

DO NOT RENT/ NASTY - ROACHES
My husband & I rented this place out due to the pictures and the reviews. Upon arriving the first thing you notice is that the location is not in the best neighborhood & the entire building smells and looks very old!
When we opened the door to the room, NOTHING & I mean NOTHING was what was advertised! The chemical smell was so bad, we couldn’t even stand in the room. The second we walked in a roach ran across the floor. There were roach bait boxes literally in every corner. There was only two pieces of furniture which were in no way “new”. Not even the bed was advertised right, it was a crappy mattress on top of a plain old school Walmart bed frame.
When we opened the closet door, more roaches came out.
We left & immediately searched the island for a last min hotel for the week which you can imagine wasn’t cheap!
We messaged the owner and he was apologetic AT FIRST!
We asked for a refund obviously! & at first he said yes. Once we talked to VRBO (who by the way is great) we found out we would not be getting a 100% refund because the owner refused to cancel the reservation on his end because it would effect his ratings!!!
Yep!! Doesn’t care about anything but himself! Extremely disappointed, nasty room & we will be writing reviews constantly and talking to everyone possible so that this place gets shut down. We have pics & lots of videos.

It started off a little rocky because the people who rented before me left the place a mess and did not put the key back in the lock box. The owners were there and got mer a key and had the place cleaned up. the previuos rents had mess up the blinds and closet door and afew stains, but the place worked great for us. Great location and view and no problems for us the time we were there. Mahalo!

20th floor condo unit, close to high end shopping and beach. Optional parking was convenient as well. Room is small like a hotel room but well laid out and functional.

Unit was not very clean. Black mold growing in bathrooms. Appliances in kitchen dirty from last renters. No control knobs on ac unit. Multiple slates missing from blinds through out unit. Upon entering unit, entryway flooring coming up causing trip hazard. Possible injury to feet.

Good location to get in and out of town, and still be close to everything you would want to see and need. The studio had everything you would want for a stay. Well kept and maintained.
Paid parking at the location was expensive.

The host communicated amazingly, it was the perfect spot as well. Clean, quiet, great view.

Beautiful views and a nice spacious place. The building itself is a little run down and parking is expensive ($45/day). Beach is a far walk (20-30 minutes one way).
One couch is on its last legs and we were afraid to sit on it as it looked like the legs would break off. Not enough soap, shampoo, etc (our family of five, staying for eight nights was giving the very small -- 2 oz -- shampoos and hand soaps about the size of a silver dollar).
The beach items were a big plus, and much appreciated. A 7-11 near the lobby was very convenient.
We had a car, so everything worked out really well, but without a car going to and from the beach would have been tough with our group size and things we were carrying.

This hotel is located in a fantastic area, you can get just about anywhere on foot. It was just me staying which storage wise, was just right even if they offered an extra bed… and you can creative about storage here.
Window AC was loud and weirdly the small gap between the windows sometimes brought in a nice breeze. It’s bummer you can’t open windows for fresh air.
And also so many conveniences available on site: rent a car, coffee shop, mini mart, and a bar/restaurant.

Overall 5 stars. Prompt communication with the owner quickly cleared up some confusion with the check-in, which involves retrieving the room key from a lockbox on the lower level. The room has a spectacular view of the Waikiki skyline and the ocean in the distance, especially from the kitchen area. We were able to watch fireworks from the room, which delighted our young son. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Caulk in the bathroom could be cleaner but not a dealbreaker. The kitchen was small but complete, with a full size refrigerator. We made the mistake of leaving some food out and ants found it; removing the food and killing the visible ants took care of the problem. Distance to Waikiki Beach was walking distance. Overall would definitely recommend.

We loved the view from our room. Grateful for our little lanai. The location was prime with a very nice market on the next block. Eateries close by. And a short walk to the exciting activities of Waikiki: beach, music, entertainment. We came specifically for FestPAC. Many events were held at the Hawaii Convention Center, again a short walk away. We were very grateful for the parking space. Recommendable!

The condo was cute, easy to get to and close to the beach. communication with the host was excellent. The parking space was so clean and easy in and out. The only suggestion I have is to replace the shower curtain, it smells a bit musty. Easy fix.

The property itself is a little run down, but the unit was decent and the view cannot be beat. Some kitchen towels and hot pads would have been nice. But the highlight was by far the view, which was totally worth it. Lots of stuff to walk to for food and shopping.

Our condo was exactly as it was described by the renter on this site. We stayed for 10 nights at this unit and there was everything that needed. Eva was always responsive and kind. She gave us many informations that helped us along our trip. I recommend this condo, the location is also great, the pool is clean and we enjoyed the bbq at our disposition. Thank you for everything Eva ❤️

Great location and easy access to Hilton beach. Close to Ala moana mall and downtown honolulu.
Eriko the manager, was so helpful and great host.
The area is very crowd so expect noise and traffic, but is waikiki. The gym has everything you need, new washing machines and good pool.
The bakery and the brunch place downstairs are a so good and good prices.
The only 'advise' is the bed wood frame is very noisy, a few adjustment will be great.. The mattress and pillows are good.
I will stay here for sure.

The apartment was adorable and clean. A little awkward checking in and being on the 20th floor was a little scary. Balcony narrow and railing not comforting. But beautiful view and easy access to beach, restaurants, etc. Sinks a little weird, look cute, but not great function, hard to get hands under the faucet, but Hawaii is about exploring and not staying in the room. It's clean and cute and affordable. Fun stay.

From this corner apartment enjoy views of the rowers on Ala Wai Canal and watch the clouds pass over the neighboring volcanic crater. Rainbows are a frequent sight. A large comfy bed, modern kitchenette, and private bathroom provide the essentials needed for a home base while exploring Honolulu. Excellent communication was provided to get to the apartment and to explore the area.
