We enjoyed the location and the great balcony. The hotel the condo is located in is well kept and the staff is friendly. The views from the balcony are great and the location is wonderful. You are close to Waikiki without being in the busy part and a quick walk to the beach.
However, communication with the management company was frustrating. Check out instructions said to get key from front desk at check in. At arrival the front desk said we needed a code for lock box. When I called they were confused, and it took about 20 minutes for them to call back with lock box code. Frustrating, but oh well. Things happen.
The condo wasn’t very clean. It has a mildew type smell when you first walk in.You can see signs of water damage along the lower walls. The AC filters need changed.The living room furniture is a bit grimy. The patio was swept and the pile of debris left in a corner. But it was also missing the hammock and all dish/ kitchen towels. There was one measuring cup… 1/3 cup. Which is not a huge deal, but weird. We didn’t do much cooking, but if you are planning to cook alot, the kitchen might not be well stocked.
Without getting into too much, I will just say that I found the management company difficult to clearly communicate with. And I was frustrated by incorrect or poor communication at the end. I am not usually one to have to ask questions or bother with hosts much. So this is not a usual problem for me.
Overall, the balcony and location made this stay enjoyable.
