If you are planning to spend some time in the Honolulu area it would be hard to do better (without dropping some serious cash) than staying at Kurt's 8th floor unit in the Waikiki Grand! You will wake up each morning to a beautiful sunrise over your unobstructed and closeup view of Diamond Head. Incredible! You will be walking distance to all of Waikiki and the bus ($2.50 one way) and trolley system is so efficient that you are not long from Pearl Harbor on the west to Hanauma Bay on the east and even places beyond. Leonard's Bakery with its malasadas is a 10 minute walk up Kapahulu. So ono! The building is well maintained, and the unit is very clean and comfortable. It is small, but you aren't coming to Hawaii to sit in your room, are you? Although Hawaii Grand is at a relatively busy intersection (Kalakaua and Kapahulu) we did not find traffic noise to be an issue. There is a glorious view from the 10th floor sun deck - a good place to have a drink or pupus in the late afternoon. The pool is small and not very nice, but you are 500 feet from Waikiki Beach. It was very easy dealing with Kurt. He checked with us before and during our stay and always got back to us promptly if we had any questions. We had a great stay. Mahalo, Kurt!
