Overall it was acceptably clean, I too live in Hawaii with open windows and know what to expect. Given the price, this was more than I expected and I enjoyed my stay immensely. The decor was well done and very esthetically pleasing. Fixing the window screens and cleaning the livingroom a/c unit would seem to be an easy fixes to improve the property.

Poor quality. Pictures are deceiving. Couches smell like body odor. Torn window screens or no screens at all. Window sills are dirty and paint is peeling off. Front door doesn’t secure completely. Cob webs downstairs. The ceiling fan is falling out of the wall. Crumbs on top and at the bottom of the toaster. Coffee pot with ground remnants and a brown glass pot. Pots and pans are scratched up. Paint over laminated counter tops is peeling off. Stove top is clouded and scratched up. Refrigerator is scratched up. Dried brown something spilled on the cabinets and is still there. Bedroom downstairs stinks. Throw rugs are stained. Bath towels are frayed. White kitchen cabinets show how dirty this place is. Low water pressure. Trash outside was overflowing. Walk through water and mud to get from car park to front door. Plenty of space, it’s quiet, decorated nicely, and is walking distance to stores and restaurants. Seemed to be a safe neighborhood.

satisfying
This was one of the worst rentals we ever stayed at. Some parts of it were just grungy but all of it needed a good cleaning and replacement of bug screens. We chose not to contact the host about this as we were only staying for a few nights and spent all our time sightseeing. The A/C mainly created noise without getting the inside of the house to a comfortable temperature. Would certainly never stay there again
