The location is amazing. The people-watching is unparalleled and I was a block away from my morning beach swim each day. The zoo is across the street and you are in between serene Diamond Head and the bustle of walkable Waikiki. Make sure to read the part about it being directly over a lively tiki bar on a busy street. I was there during the weekdays and the noise died down around 11:30 pm every night. This was not a problem for me, who comes from city living, but it may be loud for people expecting something peaceful. I would recommend this stay for solo travelers or couples on a budget who embrace the nightlife. Mark and his team were very communicative during the whole process.
