We had a nice stay at Mark's place. He wasn't there at the time but was quick to respond to any questions we had which made checking in very easy and we were able to drop our bags off early before exploring around Kona. We stayed in the "elua" room which was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The room and rest of the house was clean and tidy. The house is located on a hill which is only a short drive to the town centre (less than 5 minutes) and has a great view of sunset over the water!
