⚠️ THINGS TO NOTE (PLEASE READ):

▪️ Older Building: Like many buildings in Waikiki, Waikiki Banyan was built in the 1970s. The unit is updated, but common areas may feel a bit dated.

▪️ Maintenance Schedule: Routine building maintenance (plumbing, pest control, etc.) usually occurs Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM. Notices are posted in the elevators and we’ll do our best to inform you as well.

▪️ Plumbing Sensitivity: The pipes are older and may result in occasional slow drains or water shutoffs (usually brief and scheduled).

▪️ Tropical Bugs: Despite professional pest control, occasional sightings (like small roaches) may happen—it’s part of island life in Hawaii.

▪️ Noise: Though located on a high floor, some street or city noise may be heard, especially during busy times.
