Central Waikiki 16th Floor Corner studio w/ Kitchen, free parking & pool

Location,location,location. I will definitely book this place in the future. Highly recommended.

Great location with a short walk to Waikiki beach. Plenty of restaurants and stores in walking distance as well. Kitchen fully equipped & all functioned properly, plenty of towels provided, hosts were responsive over messages on vrbo, fast/reliable wifi, easy check in/check out process, comfortable bed, nice partial water views from the balcony. Dedicated parking spot was easy to access and convenient. It can get a bit noisy at night with loud cars & people on the street being loud, as the apartment doesn't block the noise too well. But not a major issue really. And the bath/shower took a very long time to drain, but again not a major issue at all. Overall this was a great stay & definitely would consider staying here again.

Second time staying in this building; this unit was bathed in natural light and had 2 views which was great. Would not recommend opening patio doors though: tons of wind! Reliable, designated, free parking is fantastic. Unit has a nice table to sit at for quick meals. It could use a dresser or somewhere for putting clothes; we were stuck living out of bags or piling things on the tv table. Agree with previous reviewer about A/C: adjusting temperature never seemed to work, so sometimes felt hotter than it should have been. Kitchen is minimally equipped and tight for prep space: it has a microwave and toaster and small stove, but no pans or anything to use for heating up things in oven and no kitchen linens for wiping up (sponge and dishsoap was included). Nice shower pressure, bed comfy. Two main things that resulted in a lower rating: 1. We arrived to literally 10 sheets of toilet paper with no sign of extra rolls, plus large bag of previous guests' garbage under the kitchen sink (likely just a housekeeping oversight as it looked like everything had been cleaned, but still not great!); 2. There is no deadbolt or any kind of security door lock for use at night when in the unit.

PROs*We thought the location was fabulous. Close to so much. Although very noisy. *Swimming pool was great *Bed was comfortable*Beach chairs and beach towels provided *Laundry in building*Parking spot CONs*Communciation with Host was lacking or very delayed*Shower drain was not functioning. Took 6 days to get a plumber in and it still didn’t work after that. It was extremely gross for the duration we were there (15 days)*Air conditioner was nonexistent. Was more used for airflow at night. *Kitchen lacked cooking supplies. We booked a VRBO so that we could save money on eating food out. We were restricted with what we could make. There was no cooking pans for the oven, 1 pot and 1 frying pan. *Only one fob to get in and out with.
