We stayed at Barry's place for 10 days. Our party consisted of 3 adults, a teen and a one year old. The place had ample space for all of us, except we had to buy a pack-n-play for the baby as the one provided by the owners was in a very bad condition, not suitable for putting an infant in. The owners ended up buying the pack-n-play from us so the unit should now be equipped with a brand new one. The kitchen was very small, but that's common in Waikiki and in this price range so we didn't feel bothered by it. The kitchen was well stocked though some of the things (a jar with instant coffee, for example) that must have been left by previous renters should have been thrown away as it looked old and disgusting. Balcony was very nice and had a beautiful view of the marina and stunning sunsets, but it overlooks a very busy Ala Moana Blvd and was thus very noisy. Also didn't bother us because we expected it to be noisy and knew the area well before this visit. The location and proximity to the beach was great. Our only real complaint about this place is that it was very outdated and didn't look clean. Walls needed a new coat of pain (or two), all cabinets were old and kitchen cabinets looked like they hadn't been properly cleaned in years. After touching some kitchen cabinet doors, my fingers were sticky and needed a thorough rubbing with soap. It was quite disgusting. Some of the furniture was old and some dresser drawers were hard to open. One of the folding sofas in the second bedroom tips over if you unfold it and sit on the edge. We found out the hard way.

The owners are nice people and were very attentive. They let us check in early and when we (unknowingly) parked in the wrong spot the first day, Lilly saw how tired we looked after our flight and didn't make us move our car right away. She politely asked us to move it the next day. I also thought it was nice that they kept and reimbursed us for the new pack-n-play instead of offering the old one to any future renters. If they give this unit a thorough cleaning before the next guests arrive, it should be much more pleasant and you should have a great time staying there. Thanks, Barry and Lilly.
