  a guest from Lahaina, HI does not recommend this vacation rental.

  From the shabby, $3 curtains ,to the floors which were dirty, to the ridiculously oversized refrigerator, which is noisy, this room was awful! There no screens on the windows, the sheets were not even the right size for the bed. I felt like I was staying in someone’s garage that they rented out for extra cash. The only thing good about this unit is the location. And used old bedding, curtains and blankets that they had laying around. Thankfully, I had slippers with me because I did not want to walk on the floor with my bare feet. The shower curtain needs to be replaced. The sink needs to be fixed. It just wasn’t uncomfortable place to stay. Thankfully it was only for one night. I certainly would not have extended my stay. If this is truly going to be used as a quote vacation rental“ it needs to be redone. I went to get a drink of water and the plastic glass I pulled out of the cupboard was dirty. The cabinets have a hodgepodge of stuff in them that makes no sense. There are no dishes, one wine, glass, etc. The owner of this unit should be ashamed to call it a vacation rental. It looks like a second home that they don’t care what it looks like when they get there. It really was a very unpleasant stay, but when I arrived, it was too late to get another hotel room. Icky icky icky! If you’re going to book through this company, be aware if they represent a unit like this, the other units are probably just as nasty. If there was a place to attach photos, I would and you all could see that I’m not exaggerating.

  Tyler W from Toronto, ON recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I stayed here for just under two weeks and enjoyed having access to the pool, gym, and laundry during our stay. I would describe the building as a little old, but well maintained and clean - especially the common areas. The location is perfect for any type of traveler visiting Honolulu.

  Besides having to pay $40 a night for parking. The condo was actually in a quiet location in Waikiki. The bed was comfortable and it was a pleasant experience.

  The room was very small, and didn't seem to be clean. The toiletries were very limited and the whole room was very cluttered. The chairs were also dirty.

  a guest from Salem, OR does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Location was ok. Just down the street from the hop on hop off trolley stop. The bed was great, but didn’t have fitted sheets so we went and bought a set of sheets. Furniture is worn down, except the bed, and the lamps flickered. The worst was the communication with the host. We didn’t get ANY check-in information until 3:13pm the day we were suppose to check-in at 4pm. I ended up having to call support to make sure that we were at the right spot. Then when we got to the room, the room door was ajar. The door was difficult to close and occasionally wouldn’t shut and lock. The attached hotel has a nice restaurant and a bakery for the mornings.
  
  The location of the accommodation was convenient, being just down the street from the hop on hop off trolley stop. The bed was comfortable, but it was lacking fitted sheets, so we had to purchase a set ourselves. The furniture in the room appeared worn down, with the exception of the bed, and some of the lamps flickered intermittently.
  
  One of the major issues we encountered was the lack of communication with the host. We did not receive any check-in information until 3:13 pm on the day we were supposed to check-in at 4 pm. This caused some unnecessary stress and confusion, leading us to contact support for assistance. Additionally, when we finally arrived at the room, we found the door slightly ajar, which was concerning.
  
  On a positive note, the attached hotel had a nice restaurant where we enjoyed a meal, and a bakery where we could grab breakfast in the mornings. Overall, while the location and bed were satisfactory, the lack of communication and maintenance issues were disappointing.

  a guest from Jacksboro, TX does not recommend this vacation rental.

  First night there, I was awoken at 6am to the sound of sledge hammers, saws, drills, etc from the neighboring unit.When I opened the door to see what emergency was unfolding I discovered it was just regular everyday thing people do there, and the guy opened his door and a massive amount of chemical laden and cement dust laden air wafted directly into my face and eyes etc, and the guy who did spoke no English just said 'sorry sorry' like it fixed the whole thing. The next night, I was awoken at 3am in a pool of sweat because the power went out and it was not restored until nearly 9am. At this point, I was almost having a medical emergency due to the lack of sleep. They claimed no responsibility, didn't even offer a sincere apology and offered no recourse. If I wasn't so lazy I would sue but it's not worth it.
