Mary and I really enjoyed our stay. Not only is the building in a great location, the studio apartment is a great location WITHIN the building itself. It's several floors up on what we would call the "quiet" wing that doesn't face the busy street below. The place is clean and well kept and the apartment/local guidebook Mark has put together was extremely helpful. Safeway groceries is a 5 minute drive or a fifteen minute walk if you wish to save bucks by not eating out. If cooking is not your thing on vacation then you will find many restaurants within walking distance. One of the highlights of the building is indeed the rooftop patio. The beauty of the ocean is easily seen and the views of Diamond Head are stunning. Sunrise and sunset are not to be missed from here. The rooftop is a bit of serenity in what is considered a very busy part of the city. Are there fancier spots for more money? Of course. This is Waikiki after all. But if you are a budget conscious traveler looking for a clean, quiet and convenient place to stay then I would recommend you consider Mark's place. 🙂👍
