Overall, I would say our stay met our expectations. I have stayed at a rental in the Waikiki Banyan many, many years ago so I knew what to expect.
Pros:
Convenient location.
Comfortable bed.
I was happy/relieved to NOT see a single roach!
The trash room was right across, so no long walk. It also did not smell bad and was kept clean, so that was good.
Management is great to communicate with and very easy to get a hold of them. They also did extend my checkout for another 1.5 hours which was helpful.
The unit contains cleaning supplies, extra trash bags, and sufficient toilet paper. I was worried we would only get one roll of toilet paper!
Cons:
The property is clean, however, the bathroom area smells like urine. I believe it is an accumulated smell that would need a really deep spray down to remove the smell. However, the property seems to be booked back to back so I don't think they have time to spray it down and let the chemicals do the job of removing odor. I'm not being harsh, I just know that grout can retain bad odors of urine. The shower and toilet space is very very tight. The toilet is right next to the shower. As someone who is particular about germs, I did not enjoy this part of the rental at all, especially when there are 4 of us sharing.
Sofa bed is not comfortable.
Overall, it is good. I think you get value for your money here. However, I would not stay again due to the bathroom smell.
