Reviewer Comments:
It was a beautiful condo. Very clean and nicely decorated. Nice that they left room for hanging clothes and drawers to put clothes away. Only complaint is there were no beach towels, or any small amenities like a bar of soap in the bathroom like other rentals we have used normally provide. Also could have provided more than 4 towels for a weeks stay. Still a very nice stay.
Overall had a pleasant stay. Unit clean and had all the ameneties you need. Location.a bonus
Onsite pool, bbq ,laundry, and parking was a bonus and made our experience even better. .
Overall Solid and 2 Small Improvements Would be Big
Super location with everything one needs. Beach, shops, and restaurants all close. Parking is easy although elevators are not during peak hours. Two little bathroom improvements would be great -- replace the missing corner shelf in the shower and install a curved shower rod to give more room. Even without those, I would stay there again. With them, I would stat there again and again and ...

Great location, a block from the beach and 5 minute walk to the heart of Waikiki and a great view from the balcony.
The swimming pool/BBQ area was set out well, however upcoming renovations/resurfacing to the area will mean this area will be closed for a period of time.
There are also plenty of eating options in the area, an ABC convenience store on just about every corner and a bus stop across the road for fast and easy access to Waikiki's famous bus network, if you don't have a car
However, if you do have a car, the free car parking was a real value add.
The apartment as clean and tidy, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only downside were the beds, which were really soft and sagged in the middle.
Also the managing agents were very helpful and easy to contact if needed.
It was amazing! The kitchen was perfect to make our meals in and we used it every day. I LOVED sitting on the balcony and didn’t mind one bit the buildings in front of me. I could see the ocean and Diamond head and it was beautiful at twilight and early morning.We were basically 2 big blocks from the beach and we swam everyday in the ocean!There is a city bus system that is easy to use as well as Ubers/lyftsPlenty to see and do. I would come back in a heartbeat.The only thing that I think could be better is the matress needs replacing on o e of the beds and it would be nice if basic spices and a starter set of coffee was available. Otherwise it was great!

We stayed here to move our daughter in to UH at Manoa. The space was perfect for the three of us (Four would be ok also, but would have to share the two full size beds). Relatively clean, balcony , you can see the ocean between the buildings, on site mini market and coffee (I went to Starbucks next door first morning after arriving) two blocks from ocean access, tons of ABC stores right close, Safeway just up the road. Very close to great local food, ice cream, and stores. Kitchen appliances pots pans, coffee maker, toaster ETC. did not have any additional cooking condiments not a problem just FYI. We did not use the pool or BBQ's but could see the common space just below the unit from the balcony.Laundry on the same floor, reasonably priced, the app for the laundry was super easy.We plan on staying here again if available when we visit our daughter.Aska Gateway was very responsive with my questions and excellent to work with during the booking and stay.

Was a little messy when we arrived (dusty bathroom vent, chandelier) and was super hot. The hide-a-bed (sofa bed) was also not that great. Advice, just pull the mattress off and use on the floor. Wasn’t a fan of having to pay $2 to use the electric BBQ’s on floor six. The television remotes had dead batteries, but that’s ok because we didn’t stick around. Parking was good for a standard rental jeep. Noisy city, but if you want to relax...go to Maui instead. Staff were doing repairs all around; and they mean well. Wish the price was a little lower.would be nice to let adults use hot tub up until 2am. Not all of us are drunk party goer.

The location was great. Just a short walk to the beach and right around the corner from shops and restaurants. Parking in the garage is easy and included the price. Apt. is bright and clean and the a/c keeps the entire place cool. Would definitely stay here again.

Had a great time with 2 friends exploring Oahu. this was a great base of operations.
Overall good value & well positioned.
However the condo needs a deep clean as carpets, soft furnishings and hard floors were grubby. Glassware and chinaware also needed checking as some were not clean
Beds were comfortable

Great location. However,, the carpet in the unit was badly stained in several areas although it seemed otherwise clean. the sofa was extremely uncomfortable. the unit was lacking in supplies, namely dish towels, no beach towels and one towel bar only in the bathroom.Who only uses one towel in a unit that accommodates 6 people? Also the air conditioner leaked water continuously and the tiles on the deck were loose and a bit hazardous.
This unit upon entry had 2 of the 3 beds broke and unusable. The doors were detached from the hardware but with my maintenance background, i reattached them. There was ointment and a paper cup under one bed. When i tried to communicate with the Aska Gateway staff they didn't care to respond in a timely manor. After many calls and emails they stopped answering my calls. There was no other accommodations due to the Honolulu Marathon. I ended up sleeping on the floor. Most of the furniture is broken or completely falling apart. I visited two other units while we were here and found that this was an isolated issue with this unit. Never again will i stay here or rent through Aska Gateway.
This rental was great, super family friendly and clean. The location was perfect too because we had several options around us to keep us busy. I just wish there were more towels and detergent to wash clothes as well as extra trash bags since we stayed a week there. Other than that, no complaints.
Overall the condo was good. Was a few issues with the tile on the patio and the AC unit leaking water into the living space.

We rented this place for a little over a week. The location is central to downtown Waikiki, 5 minutes walk to the beach, and other shipping areas are within walking distance. The check in process is a breeze and the host is quick in answering any questions we had. This place includes covered parking which is very convenient! The full kitchen is also a plus as it saved us a lot of money from eating out. A few recommendations -1. The carpet in the living room needs a deep clean. We noticed stains in several areas of the living room carpet when we checked in.2. If you’re concerned about COVID, we recommend that you take some time to wash the linens it provided when you check in. The coin-operated washer and dryer are located on the same floor which is convenient.Other than that, everything is great. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
This apartment is in an excellent location and the foyer is lovely. The apartment itself needs a renovation, the carpet is very dirty and the beds are not comfortable. The lighting in the bedroom is non existent and the beds move around and are noisy. There are broken tiles in the bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay with a full size fridge and oven. The pool and entertainment area is great.
Nice and clean rental. It was close to everything. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, stores and more! I wish there were more clean towels because we were constantly at the beach. I stayed there for 5 nights, and it was hard to wash the towels because were on vacation so we weren’t home most of the time. However, it was such a nice and clean rental home. The decor just made it feel even more at home. Will recommend this place for sure :)

The property is in a good location - just a short walk to grab coffee/food, and be on the beach.Staff was 100% professional when booking - they promptly followed up via email. Booking was a breeze and splitting the balance into 2 payments made it easily affordable. Decent place to stay - offering 2 full size beds and a sleeper sofa. Good water pressure and wifi worked during our entire stay. Checking in with the fob was a breeze. Having a parking pass was a bonus! Balcony with city view overlooks the pool on the 6th floor, you can see a little bit of the ocean between the buildings. I would recommend that you allow time to wash bed linens and towels prior to using them - just to ensure that they are clean. There is a washer/dryer down the hall from the condo.
