For the first 4 days of our 8 day stay, the air conditioning did not work. Early the second day, Monday, we notified Lisbeth on the VRBO chat. She left the VRBO chat and had Ed text us on a private line. For three more days, Ed insisted the A/C worked. It wasn't until Wednesday evening, when we threatened to call the condo association, that Ed asked maintenance to check out the A/C. Maintenance quickly declared the A/C broken. Ed then offered another property which he admitted was a little "shabby" but had A/C. We checked it online and saw that it was advertised as pet-friendly, Some of us have severe cat allergies, plus we no longer trusted Ed or Lisbeth. We were in touch with VRBO support since the beginning. VRBO paid for us to stay in a Waikiki hotel starting Thursday night, and then picked up the tab for the last three days of our stay. That's how seriously VRBO took our complaints (If you read VRBO's terms, broken air conditioning is a contract nullifying matter.) The host eventually refunded us a portion of our payment. We have a long history with VRBO and have never had a negative experience, and I am usually understanding and generous with my reviews. Also, these hosts do not give a grace period with deposits. Once you send your money, it is non-refundable. They require a very large deposit or an insurance policy. STAY ON THE VRBO CHAT. We sent our private chats to VRBO who said it would be easier if they could have accessed conversations on the VRBO chat.

Randy, You're utterly hard communicating with; requiring us twice to clean the unit with constantly fluid and demanding additions, then a 3rd cleaning after your entire 4-night stay. You are unfair, as we offered remedies that you ignored. Later we were happy to agree with canceling the remainder of your stay. Your input is overly discerning. Within 4 hours of checkin, you requested a 25% discount. For the past five years, we've hosted numerous families have always had a good report within the VRBO platform. A quick view of our welcome booklet, would have resolved the AC issue (flipping circuit breaker at panel). We always emphasize anyone traveling to read our host disclosure and do their due-diligence with regards to location. We don't embellish our unit but strive to meet reasonable expectations.

Excellent location for exploring the city, public transportation in every direction is right there, roof top pool is quiet and not very busy, condo has plenty of towels, dishes, cooking utensils, coffee grinder. Building managers are very nice and helpful. Chinatown restaurants only a couple of blocks away, and next door Paris Baguette Bakery a (I went there every day - it is that good!!!)

Location was great

Location was great and loved the free parking. Checking in was harder since we had to drop one off to go get the pass from the room. Was nice to have enough space for everyone and not feel like you are cramped. A small welcome packet could be useful with quick information such as trash locations, pool, WiFi etc. would stay again here!

Centrally located

We really enjoyed the time staying at this property. very centrally located. one thing we would like to add to the property is more lighting. due to the property having only 1 bathroom, it is hard for everyone to get ready, especially ladies.

Very friendly, extra mile to meet our needs!

One of the people in our party is in a motorized wheelchair. The owners went the extra mile to answer specific questions about accommodations to make sure they were accessible, and offer suggestions to make sure we had the information we needed. Owners are extremely responsive and gracious. I will look them up again if our travels bring us to the same area in the future.

Great VRBO with kitchen

We were overall very happy with our stay at this VRBO the owners were responsive to questions and addressed concerns about cleanliness in a timely manner. This property has a good selection of items that you don't need to worry about purchasing or bringing. The property was not cleaned well, very dusty, dirty sticky floors and kitchen sink was very dirty. Owners were notified and addressed it accordingly. We had no other issues. Would stay again

Upon our arrival, we had to wait an extra hour and a half before we could check-in to the room after our scheduled time, then upon arrival to the actual room it smelled like mildew, and while inspecting it, we noticed a significant amount of mold on the main air vent in the living room, as well as a leaky kitchen sink with mold beginning to grow underneath it. The majority of the items inside the sink were significantly wet. After reaching out to the host to inform them about the mold & sink situation, they disregarded our inquiry implying the mold spores is rust and didn’t take it seriously at all. Additionally, a cockroach was found inside one of the guest bedrooms by a friend after the first night, and also the dryer didn’t work at ALL the entire time which was very very upsetting. The area outside is also noticeably populated with many homeless people loitering and panhandling on the sidewalk. Definitely will not be staying here again
Mold spores on the air vents in the main living room which was completely disregarded by the host as “rust” when confronted for health reasons.
Another angle of the contaminated air vent.

The guests were disingenuous and lacked any fluid communication because we attempted to gain access and there was no follow up. If these matters were explicitly concerning and harmful there would have been further communication. Furthermore, this is an island rust on metal is very common, we strive to meet our guests expectations, we urge anyone reserving with us to read our host disclosure to avoid any surprises and misrepresentations.

Cute little apartment

Communication with host was great from day one. Check in was a little frustrating, more on our end as we had so many people/luggage in the car and we were cramped. Went to check in at 4pm as the VRBO check in time stated. The cleaner was still there and asked us to come back about 5:30pm, however understood our frustration with the luggage and allowed us to drop off all our luggage while he cleaned.The area is cute. We frequented the coffee shop on the corner and there was a 7-11 downstairs as well. Everything was close and lots of places to walk around. It got a bit busy with street people at night, but they were friendly enough and my husband and I never felt uncomfortable. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Our kids went daily. The apartment itself was just as advertised. The rooms (minus the master bedroom) were small but we didn’t mind as we didn’t spend much time at the apartment anyway. The master bedroom was spacious but the bed was terrible! Not comfortable at all and squeaked every time someone moved. My husband ended up sleeping on the couch a few times.There was parking as well which was nice as we ended up renting a car. Be prepared to get dizzy getting in and out the lot as it’s 10 floors of going in circles.Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely stay here again.
