âœâœâœâœâœ Very convenient to Waikiki activities
By Mary S – stayed Jun 2023
First, Loan was amazing on communications. VERY quick responses, perfectly laid out instructions for check in and out, very accommodating. There were lots of towels (bath and beach), everything you could possibly want for the beach, and lots of supplies. It's obvious she stocks it, but also nice that she leaves "leftovers" from previous guests. Saved me having to go hunt down laundry detergent! The laundry was clean, ran by CC or an app. Parking spot very convenient. The building was an older building (built in 1971). You'll never get lost though because it's the 16-story building with a Whale mural on it! You could see signs of age, especially in the lobby and halls, although you regularly saw workers vacuuming the halls and cleaning the pool area. The main areas of our apartment were clean (the patio door was perfect). It could use a good Spring cleaning (corners, baseboards, light fixtures, blinds). Lanai was nice with a good view of the canal, but no beach view. Definitely a very busy, very loud street directly below. Nice walk along the canal, or there is a more direct street right to the beach, 10 min walk for us.

Great little spot right on the edge of downtown Waikiki, which makes it a little more private and quiet but still very walkable!
Response from Loan & Lewis:
Mahalo again Patrick and welcome back anytime. Aloha 🌺
âœâœâœâœâœ Stayed with kids
By Maryn – stayed May 2023
Loan was very responsive host. She also had a lot of clear instructions within the apartment that answered a lot of our questions on arrival. We really appreciated a lot of the necessities such as a variety of cooking oils, seasonings and some dry nonperishable foods. There were also all the beach necessities available such a umbrellas, mats, boogie boards, snorkel gear, sunscreen, a first aide kit and beach towels. The rooms and beds were clean and comfortable. Many stores were in walking distance, and we were very pleased with the dedicated parking garage space. Loan was even generous enough to purchase portable a/c units when the a/c in the building went out. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely use this Airbnb again.

âœâœâœâœâœ Best host ever!
By Thao N – stayed May 2023
Loan was so gracious and amazing in her communication. Definitely felt like she went above and beyond her duties as a host. For example, we accident booked a day short and even though we couldn’t extend our stay because it was already booked she took the effort to look for accommodations outside of her place for us! The condo had all the supplies we needed, and more such as beach chairs and beach towels. The washing machine was close by, and credit card only.

Thank you very much, Thao for your genuine reviews! Have a great day and welcome back anytime. Aloha 🌺.
âœâœâœâœâœ Stayed about a week
By Jamie – stayed Feb 2023
We had a fantastic time here. Loan was easy to work with and quickly responded to any questions. The home was clean and well furnished. My only complaint was the many sirens during our stay, but that is to be expected in the city.

Response from Loan & Lewis:
Thank you Jamie. So glad to hear your family had a fantastic time at our condo and enjoyed this prime location in Waikiki. Yeah, there are are ER and policemen around to ensure security at this tourist center.

By Felicia – stayed Feb 2023
This was a nice place to stay during our vacation. It is equipped with some beach gear and umbrellas. The umbrellas were really useful for those scattered Hawaiian rains. The place does get a bit noisy from the street because of the louvre windows, but we were always so tired after a full day of activities that it never kept us up at night. The included parking spot was a huge plus and easy to get to.
Response from Loan & Lewis:
Thank you Felicia. Yeah parking is tough and expensive in Waikiki. We provide FREE PARKING for all guests. Glad that you appreciate the parking!
We also highly appreciate your feedback regarding the noise. We have provided 3-layer antinoise/darkening curtains for all windows. The building is working on replacing louver windows. Mahalo again and welcome back anytime! Aloha 🌺
âœâœâœâœâœ Great place to stay!
By Eric S – stayed Jan 2023
This is a great condo in the heart of Waikiki within walking distance to beaches, bars, and restaurants. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room to relax. A full kitchen was great for cooking meals and a dining area allowed us to eat as a family. The balcony was great to sit on and relax and enjoy the weather. The pool isn’t huge but was rarely ever occupied so we were able to enjoy it peacefully. Overall a great condo and I would definitely stay here again.
