Waikiki Studio Apartment with great Ala Wai Canal Views

It was a handy location but the noise from the 4 land highway below was constantly loud. We were also visited by rodents

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.

So when we first arrived the living room lights did not work, there were also two lamps in the living room one of them had the two metal prongs stuck in the outlet and so that lamp didn’t work. on top of all this there was mold in the cabinets and I’m talking mold growing in the cabinets because there was moldy bread and bananas with a Starbucks cup. there was what looked like throw up on the curtains and rodent droppings on the floor. I was refunded the 150 dollar cleaning fee since this condo was very unclean.

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.

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!
