• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Great location, comfy bed. Air con unit is quite noisy but this is a small issue for a great place to stay.

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Paul’s place is in a great spot near Waikiki! Walking distance to shops and food. Definitely would come back!

• Reviewer: Angela

  Comments: Easy walk to beachs, stores, shops, and anything else you might need. It is a few blocks away from what I would call the main street but that made it so there was less people constantly around. Nice view. Good place to stay.

• Reviewer: Christian

  Comments: Great location, beautiful view of the sunset, ocean and beach. Comfy bed. Great shower. Very quick to respond to questions and help. 100% recommended to anyone looking to stay just outside of the super busy strip but close enough to everything you need.

• Reviewer: Nicolas

  Comments: Great place, very clean and near to the beach. He was very nice and answers very fast. Would come back when im here next time.

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: Great location on Ala Moana! We ate breakfast at Goofy Café (a Frommer's recommendation) a couple of hundred yards away both mornings which was great. Since we are retired military, we appreciated the short 10 minute walk to the Hale Koa where we used the beach, bar, and PX facilities.

  Comments: Great place to stay!!

• Reviewer: Mikki

  Comments: Location was amazing, barely a block to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and far enough off the main strip to avoid crowds. Had everything we needed and Paul was super responsive, even took the time to deliver an air mattress last minute. Full size fridge worked great and king size bed was perfect for our vacation. Parking was also a great value.

• Reviewer: Jay

  Comments: The place was walkable to all the malls and popular areas in Waikiki. The room was nice and clean with a view of the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Kamilla

  Comments: We are so glad that we stayed in Paul’s condo. It is centrally located and you can get just about anywhere within 30 minutes or less. The place is small, but it was perfect for what we needed. The king size bed was great and the shower was really nice too. Paul’s condo has a lot of great amenities. He is very helpful and responds quickly.

  Comments: Highly recommend Paul's place to stay in Waikiki. Great location; value for money & the views of Waikiki are sensational. The amenities are excellent if you want to eat in but also well located to many restaurants. Our only downfall was that only 1 lift was operational at the time - but hopefully this has now been rectified

• Reviewer: Jeffrey

  Comments: If you see this place available for you, take it. Everything was great and you will have a really great guy in Paul to deal with. He made everything very easy.

• Reviewer: Christopher

  Comments: Paul's place was centrally located with easy access to Waikiki and Ala Mona. The place has amazing views. Very comfortable and Paul was super helpful with any questions. Highly recommended! Great value!

• Reviewer: Cagney

  Comments: Wonderful time. I knew what to expect and the condo delivered. We had a cozy stay, and lovely view. I will 100% recommend Paul and his condo to anyone I know visiting the area! Plenty of great places to walk to for dinner, recommend The Chart House, make reservations for rail seating round sunset. Sunset at the condo was still absolutely gorgeous!!! I didn't have to contact Paul after arrival because everything was clean and ready for pt stay! I suggest throwing those panoramic windows open when your in the condo because the sea breeze and waves are mor therapeutic than anything else you can pay for! We will certainly look Paul up again on our next HI visit!

  Comments: This was a great place to stay! Super clean, close to Waikiki and Ala Moana Shopping Center, and beautiful view of the city and the ocean. Beautiful to see the sunset! Paul gave clear instructions on how to get into the place and everything was as described. I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing!

• Reviewer: Ashley

  Comments: As my first Air bnb experience I am super happy. Paul was a great host. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

• Reviewer: Nadya

  Comments: The room itself is on the small side but offers everything that a traveller would need and is very comfortable. The view is amazing and there are large windows that open out completely to enjoy it. As the space is small, the air conditioning unit needs a bit of updating but the open windows do offer a nice breeze for guests. The location is great as it’s within walking distance to Ala Moana shopping centre as well as the bus stop where you can easily access the pink line to get around the city. The place is exactly as advertised and a good spot for vacationers to stay.

  Comments: Great host! Will do again.

• Reviewer: Janet

  Comments: This place was perfect for two of us to stay, very clean, excellent ocean view, great location to Waikiki, Ala Moana.

• Reviewer: Tommy

  Comments: Pro: Paul's place was simply amazing. My wife and I stayed there for a week for our honeymoon trip, and we enjoyed every last moment of it. His place comes with everything you can really think of such as utensils, plates, cups, grounded coffee, etc. He even have disposable utensils, plates, and cups too for preference, which my wife and I used. There's also a cooler in his place that we heavily utilized for the hot summer week. The ice machine is on the 4th floor, and if you are renting a parking space then the spot is on the 3rd floor. We just leave the cooler in the car and boom! Cold drink all day long! A quick piece of advice for those traveling on a budget, there's a Walmart that is about 8 minutes drive from his place. We got 24 bottles of water that lasted us a week for $5, or you can go to the ABC store downstairs for $4 a jug. There's also a Target that is closer at the Ala Moana Center with similar prices to Walmart as well. Lastly, there is parking available in the premise for $10 a day. I highly recommend if you get a car as there's no parking nearby. We also like to come back around 10pm, so this would've been a greater challenge for us to look for a spot to park. If you go to an outside lot, I read it could cost an upward of $40. Con: There is only one working, yet, slow working elevator on premise that services 40 floors. The other elevator is being renovated and it will not be available until 2019. As the sign suggests on the elevator, it may take anywhere from 30-40 minutes to wait for the elevator. My wife and I usually leave the house before 7am, and comes back around 10pm so that does not affect us too much. We did, however, missed the elevator a few times because of how cramped it was after parking in the garage. We usually walk down to the lobby and go up from there for safety measure. When checking out, you should plan accordingly and leave earlier if you have a lot of luggages. Additionally, if you rent Paul's garage space, it can be quite a challenge to get to the spot. The garage is one lane only with a lot of turns. Use caution, drive slowly, and always look at the blindspot mirror at the garage to make sure no cars are approaching.

  Comments: Well equipped smallish apartment with fabulous views in great location near to locals beach and within easy but discrete reach of a local shopping mall and also the Waikiki area

• Reviewer: Anna

  Comments: Highly reccomened, sparkling clean amazing views fabulous host.

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: Paul’s place provided everything we could have asked for! Coffee, sugar, towels (even two beach towels even though we had packed our own), soap, shampoo, conditioner....the list goes on. We had packed a lot of our own stuff and had my sister buy some stuff for us because she lives in Hawaii but had that not been the case we would have been great with what Paul provided! The location was great as well! A store on our block had everything we might need. Tons of restaurants were located very close by. Ala Moana center (mall) less than a mile away. The beach just a couple of blocks over. We looked over a lot of places to get a good price and I think we made the very best choice. It was a WONDERFUL experience!!

• Reviewer: Kerrin

  Comments: Paul's place had a great view, quick access to many places, and while we were staying there, both elevators were in service so this wasn't an issue for us at all. The space was clean and comfortable. My wife and I highly recommend staying here if you want to spend some time in the city.

• Reviewer: Tori

  Comments: Great little condo apartment. Very well renovated and set up with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. The lift can be slow at times but we didn’t find this to be an issue at all. Great view. Thanks Paul

• Reviewer: Michael

• Reviewer: Brad

  Comments: Fantastic location. Easy walk to beaches and restaurants as well as a convenience store right outside. Wonderful view of the city and the sunset!

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: We had a fantastic few days in Waikiki and this studio worked very well for my wife and me. While a bit smaller than we anticipated, it was perfect for just two of us. Very clean and updated. Love the location. Great access to The Bus stops (we didn't bother with a car with such good public transportation), the beach and restaurants near the marina. We found Paul's place to be a great value.

• Reviewer: Ian

  Comments: Paul's apartment was outstanding with a lovely view of the ocean and close to all transport. The hosts are kind and accommodating, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we now no longer want to stay anywhere else in Honolulu.

• Reviewer: Mike

  Comments: Everything was as expected. Paul was responsive to every question we had. Really great location in Waikiki. We were able to walk to everywhere we wanted. Very close to a convenient pickup spot for excursions. If you're looking for a good spot for two in Waikiki, this is for you.

• Reviewer: Lei

• Reviewer: Jeramie

  Comments: Great location! Walking distance to ala Moana, and many restaurants. Awesome view. Perfect place to stay for a couples getaway. Would most definitely come back!

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: Amazing location and great views. On our last morning there, watched a full moon set over the mountains while laying in bed. Paul was also a great host, very responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend for someone seeking a prime location near shops and restaurants while wanting the home away from home feel.

• Reviewer: Marilyn

  Comments: Paul’s place is super close to Ala Moana Park and Waikiki beach. The view is great and the space is sparkling clean. There was a hiccup during our stay, but Paul made sure it was taken care of. We were in Honolulu for our honeymoon and Paul’s place was perfect!

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Disappointed

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: Paul’s apartment was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our favorite part was the entire window opened up so we could let in all the fresh air in mornings and evenings. Check in and out was simple. I would highly recommend Paul’s place and we would happily stay here again!

• Reviewer: Maria

  Comments: beware of the elevators. not always functional and you may have to walk up and down stairs.

• Reviewer: Brad

  Comments: Very comfortable place in a fantastic location. Right at the start of Waikiki with nearby shopping, beach, and restaurants. Comfortable bed. Clean. ABC a few doors down to pick up supplies and souvenirs. The West view is great of the marina and city - panoramic window view. All that is needed to explore Honolulu and Waikiki on Oahu. Easy to get to and theBus (public transportation) has frequent lines that are inexpensive. Uber and Lyft show up quickly as well.

• Reviewer: Brendan

  Comments: Great place to stay in waikiki. As advertised

• Reviewer: Loli

  Comments: Wonderfully furnished, extremely well located quaint little apartment. Close to shopping center, Walmart, bus stops, the beach and many restaurants. Place is clean, the wiew of the marina is unbelievable. For our commodity Paul had beach towels, lunch bag, coffee, sugar (that was a nice touch). The mattress is very very soft, I imagine to get something this size in the elevator it needs to bend. If you like that then you will be ok..if you have back issues and need something firm, this is not for you. Internet was painfully slow but we did not call the company to investigate. Air conditioning a bit noisy. Elevators. Only one working, therefore plan ahead. Many times we had to wait as people congregated in the lobby and had to take next elevator. Only 4 units per floor...sometimes we got lucky and wait times was reasonable other times they squeezed in like sardines and it was quite a wait. Knowing all this we would still book there, Paul was very responsive to our requests.
