The studio apartment was absolutely gorgeous and well-appointed, I echo every other review that states that pictures really don't do justice to the apartment. Thomas and his wife obviously thought of the little touches that would make someone's stay extra-special, from items in the kitchen to candles and a cooler that you can take to the beach. The space was beautiful and allowed for a serene and relaxing visit to the big island. Thanks to the hosts for making our trip memorable and special!
