The condo kitchen was very underrated as well as the bathroom. Rugs were dirty as well.

The apartment was clean. It was a little small for my family but we made it work. It is a great location as well. Will definitely stay again.

The overall experience was great and met our needs! Loved having a kitchenette that we could cook all our favorite meals and had all needed kitchenware! Beds were super comfortable and the view from the room was absolutely spectacular!! Mahalo!

We like the kitchen and bathroom. It is clean and functional. The email is clear enough to do self-check-in and self-check-out. The pool and jacuzzi are located in 6th floor and they are amazing. The building is old, but the room is clean. We were living in 34th floor and was able to see beautiful city spectacular view and able to see the sea. The room is smaller than the picture, and the window curtains are so BROKE, they are easy to fall off and no reinstallation. Everyday the sunshine woke us up very early like 7am, can't rest well. If the curtain is like that next time, I won't choose this property again.

The property is in need of a lot of updating and repairs. The carpet is pretty nasty and either needs to be removed or deep cleaned. There were several damages to the bathroom dealing with holes covered with masking tape and duct tape on the mirror. Paint chipping from humidity and since there are no baseboards there is a lot of cracks and drywall dust along the wall to floor edges. There are tons of homeless people around the property. There was also no key available when I checked in. Thankfully I check in in the early evening instead of the middle of the night as there was someone available to call and bring over a key. We had to wait 15 minutes for someone to bring a key which was annoying because we had groceries in the car and were tired after a long flight but she was very nice and courteous when she brought a key card for us and escorted us to our room to make sure we got in ok. There is a nice view of the mountains and it’s in walking distance to a nice lagoon at the Hilton. The parking people were super rude. They only accept cash to park in the garage but the ATM on the premises only gives out small amounts for a large fee so make sure to go by the bank first if you plan to use their parking garage. And make sure you don’t go over the time stamp on your parking pass or they will charge you extra. You get what you pay for is what it really comes down to and I wouldn’t mind paying more to have a better experience somewhere else next time.

This property is so-so only when considering the price per person when splitting the price between 4 people. It’s an older building and you can feel it for sure. The carpet felt and looked old and dirty. The room and furniture itself is old and the room looks better in the pictures than in person. The room felt small for 4 people. I do have to say that overall the kitchen and bathroom were clean. I also like that there was a laundromat in the building. There is a good coffee shop in the building as well. The location overall is good and provides easy access to many locations.
In regards to communication, I got in on Dec. 25th and had been messaging the managers since 10AM since i hadn’t received check in instructions. I sent multiple messages and no one responded to me until 9PM. I was already stressing out and trying to book another hotel as i thought that we weren’t going to be able to have anywhere to sleep. Once they called me they said they had emailed me check-in instructions. I have never received check-in instructions other than in vrbo messaging in any of the locations i’ve booked on vrbo, so of course i never would have thought to check my email. It’s still unprofessional to me that they didn’t respond to my multiple messages for over 11 hours on the day of check in nor did they ever tell me i needed to check my email for instructions prior to their call at 9PM. It was nerve racking thinking we were going to need to pay for a full new hotel the day we got in to Honolulu during the holiday season.
It believe there are better places around this price range that are more updated but if this is your only option, be prepared for what you’re walking into. In the future, for myself, i would rather pay a bit more to feel more comfortable during my stay.

Upon checking into this condo, we were immediately hit with how dingy and unkept the whole building was. We had hopes that the room would at least meet the expectations we had from the online images but this was not the case at all. The online images were completely misleading to what this room actually is in person. All of the furniture is old and not taken care of. There we tons of scratches and marks on the walls, peeling paint, duct tape over holes., the list goes on. There we multiple bugs (ants, fruit flies, etc.) The online images displayed are quite obviously photoshopped to make this place looks MUCH better so you will be tricked into wasting your money. DON’T!!! The rental company who manages this property is also the absolute worst management I have ever seen. The “manager” proceeded to yell at me the entire call after requesting a refund because we were so uncomfortable we could not stay at the property. I also asked to speak to the owner directly and she would no oblige saying she didn’t know if he would answer. After all of the yelling, I was told “I’ll call you back” and she hung up. I have still yet to receive a call back. I am still in the process of getting this resolved. Do not, I repeat DO NOT book this condo unless you are looking for the quality of a run down motel.

The room was not very updated or maintained. There were not enough towels for our group of four people. It was hard to get a response since the office hours were not open over the weekend. We did see some small ants in the kitchen area. Overall the studio felt dirty and in need of some care. The redeeming quality was that it did have a great view of the city with huge windows. There was also a nice coffee shop in the bottom floor of the building and was walkable to other food options

Having never been in Ha, it was all new for us. We liked the mcCully center nearby with all the food options. Yes it is walkable and so it ala moanna shopping center, but we had a car so we never walked.

The place was nice, just like what shown the photos. The owner has instructions written everywhere (like to be gentle with the blinds and what temperature to set the stove on). So I get it, they want us to keep the place in good condition. I feel a bit annoyed because for all the restrictions, there aren't much amenities. For example, I needed a bit of salt to gargle (because my gums hurt) and there wasn't any salt left in the little jar. We ate out most of the time, but there was one time I had a piece of left over fried chicken and there wasn't any aluminum foil for me to heat up in the oven the next day.

Very cute little studio conveniently located by the beach and close to shops. Very clean and provided with basics for food prep, shower and even a brita for filtered water! The view was amazing. Definitely recommend.

I loved the day and night view on the 34th floor and all the windows I had to look all around Waikiki. The beds were so very comfortable. Just wish the tv was a little bigger. But other all throughout was fantastic stay.

It’s on the 34th floor, and the views are amazing! The people who actually own this will contact you, not Vrbo. They’re the sweetie people, and will help you if you have to cancel and rebook it for different dates!

I feel that as the "experts" vrbo should advise the owners. The bathroom needs help! Leaks on the ceiling, a very low toilet, and lack of non-slip tub base,makes it difficult. No-one registered our handicap issues with bldg management causing us to have to evacuate ourselves down 10 flights of stairs in a fire threat. The kitchen is so full of unnecessary cooking/serving 'stuff' there is no space for guest groceries. As described 'cozy' studio there is space for 2-4 people MAX but beds for 6. Not logical.

I may have misread the description, but laundry was not in-unit. When I did my search, I specifically wanted a kitchen and laundry in-unit because I have kids. Laundry was expensive ($6.25 per load). Location was a quick walk to 7-Eleven, 10 minute walk to the nearest beach, and 15 minute walk to International Market. The nearest beach is next to Hilton Village, so it’s a bit crowded like Waikīkī Beach. The view is beautiful. The kitchen is facing mauka and the beds facing Lēʻahi. You can see Ala Wai Canal through every window. Pool was a good size with a huge deck you can bbq on. It was ant season when I visited, so just had to take extra precautions to not encourage their stay. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay.
