Great location-

We loved the location. Comfy bed, lots of towels, if you want to eat in, the efficiency kitchen was well equipped. We paid for the parking garage, be sure to get a small call as the spaces are tight! It is cozy for sure with your luggage under the bed as described. Too many pillows and throw pillows. Our only disappointment was the bathroom is in need of attention from a sink that doesn’t drain, marred and chipped woodwork, the bath was overused and rough looking.

The most beautiful view you could imagine. It's just breathtaking! The room is small and charming, with homey personal touches. It's not "hotel perfect" so if that bothers you, don't book it and then complain. Go pay a lot more for something boring and generic and leave it for people who will appreciate it. The location is ideal! Right across from the zoo and the park, and next to a lovely beach that isn't completely crowded. Near multiple bus lines too. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony so much, watching all of the birds riding the updrafts above the trees in the park, and the flamingos walking around the zoo, and the people walking to the beach, with Diamond Head as the backdrop to it all. The whole wall opens up, if you want that, and you feel like you're outside. My husband kept telling me what a good choice I made in accomodations. The building itself is very charming too (make sure to visit the roof), and there's tons of easy food choices just steps away. Recommended: happy hour at The Deck, next door at the QK hotel. One last thing of note - we went on a ghost tour and the guide assured us that the building wasn't known to be haunted - something that is apparently NOT true of a lot of accomodations. So, there's that to consider as well. :)

Close to everything - small but efficient

My wife and I love visiting Hawaii as we both grew up and met in High School there. This small but nice apartment is in a great spot. We could walk to almost everything in Waikiki. The beach is 1/2 block away. We used to get our coffee and sit on the beach almost every morning for the 2 weeks we stayed here. We would definitely stay here again.

small & functional

condo is small but perfect for 1-2 people that do not plan to stay indoors much during the day. The location has great views and close to beach, coffee, restaurants. kitchenette is useful! Bathroom does not have counter space to keep your items, however they do provide shelves to make up for that, just not the most functional bathroom for getting ready in.

Not quite what we expected

Check in was easy.......except we weren't given the room that we booked As soon as we opened the door we were greeted by hot muggy air. The AC was not cooling. We decided to give it some time and left for a few hours. When we got back to the room it was still 82 degrees. After looking at my reservation I realized the room we were given was not the one I had reserved. I sent the host an email letting him know about the AC and the room. The next morning I emailed him again and also called him. I wasn't able to reach him so I contacted VRBO directly and they said they would contact him. I did hear back from Mark in the early afternoon. He said there were no other units available in the building and that he would not be able to have the AC replaced that day and offered me a full refund which I accepted. We were able to get into another building through a different company the next day which turned out to be an amazing property so it all worked out and I did receive a full refund. This location is great because it is very close to the beach and the zoo and tons of stores, but the building itself is pretty run down and the room was not any better. Very tiny, no place to store luggage, mini fridge, and the bathroom needs a total update. The room also smelled like a mixture of urine and popcorn and the AC was broken.

Amazing views, clean and comfortable

This place was a perfect little spot with great views. The kitchen is well stocked. Bathroom had heaps of towels. Bed was comfortable, air con worked well. Check in was ok - the key didn't work til 3 pm on the dot, which is a little weird, and we had flown in at 8 am so it was the longest 5 minutes ever waiting in the hallway The unit is bright and the window open fully to the lanai, amazing. The only con other than the weird check in was the furniture - SO much useless, oversized furniture. For the love of god and anyone with legs, please remove the chest of drawers in front of the toilet. I only have a 27" inseam and I struggled. No one wants to sit side saddle on the can. Replace with a shelf and towel hooks for a MUCH better bathroom experience. There is a chunky roll top desk and a large (albeit, beautiful) cabinet in the main area that serve little to no purpose too. Room would feel much more spacious with these removed.

Absolute Nightmare

This is nothing like the description, the host does not care and is fraudulently posing this as a property when it is simply a hotel room situated inside a hotel with many other units just like it. If you are looking to become sick on your vacation without a care in the world to your health or well-being then this is the place for you. The tiny room is poorly laid out. No place for your luggage. Furniture placed off the floor because the room leaks when it rains. As unfortunately we found out as we were bailing water out from midnight to 4am. The walls and curtains were covered in mold. When this was brought to the host he asked us to leave and agreed to a full refund which we have yet to receive. This is under investigation by VRBO and we hope they DO NOT allow this to continue to happen to other unsuspecting VRBO customers. We were glad to leave for our health and well-being however were forced to walk down the street with luggage in hand hoping to find a place to stay. Wish there was a way to give this and all others listed by Mark H. negative stars! Do yourself a favor and if you see this name, move along.

The view from this property is incredible! It was easy to forget that we were on the edge of Waikiki. The sliding door was amazing to open all the way and enjoy the outside day and night. In fact we left it open most nights and things quieted down enough to hear the waves sometimes. Waking up to the sunrise and having coffee on the lani while watching the waves roll in was just fantastic. It is a small unit, but perfect for two people, and you can't beat the view. Another plus is there is a storage hold place right across the alley from the hotel! Super convenient for early arrival or late flight after check out. Bounce, at Honolulu zoo is the location to look for. It is seriously like 20 steps from the front lobby of this hotel. Communication was great from the time I booked this. I would highly recommend this for people that are looking for a place they can do their own thing and just want an awesome place to be.
