I stayed 6 nights at Mark's place at the Waikiki Grand, located at the east end of Waikiki, across the street from the zoo, and just a block to the beach. The view from the top floor sundeck was gorgeous-- just as shown in the listing. The Waikiki Grand is an older building, but the place was clean and everything inside worked. I traveled solo and felt very safe in this area. Restaurants and shops were within easy walking distance. I enjoyed watching beach volleyball matches on the beach across the street.
