Such a great location. Across from the Zoo and Kapiolani Park. View of Diamond Head, the park and the ocean/beach from a private porch.
Aquarium a short walk away
Small and very basic. Best feature is the location.
Be aware that this area can be noisy with traffic and pedestrian noise. Hula’s (bar and grill) open late with open air deck on the 2nd floor (two floors down from unit and on the other end of the building)
Not too bad if you close all windows and run the air conditioner and fan
If you call the Waikiki Grand Hotel in advance, you may be able to reserve a parking spot in their garage. Otherwise you will need to pay for parking at the zoo across the street, or pay metered parking on the street (6am-10pm) or search for street parking (typically challenging)
I enjoy staying on the edge of the Waikiki density and being able to see/feel more nature - not just high rises in all directions
Host very responsive to communication
