Marcus's apartment was an amazing place to stay for our trip to the Big Island. Our group was four couples and we we're easily accommodated in the three large bedrooms and sleeper sofa. Also the kitchen was very well equipped with coffee makers, utensils, and dinnerware. Our host even gifted us Kona coffee beans and sparkling wine to get us started! Perhaps the best place in the apartment is the expansive lanai with sweeping views toward the ocean. The apartment is located at the end of a dead end road in a neighborhood quite a way up the mountain so the views and sunsets were incredible. It was very quiet and was surrounded by tropical plants and lots of birds in the morning. Marcus was an attentive host without being intrusive. He made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The only issue was a broken dryer and he offered us to use his personal washer/dryer if we needed it. I would definitely return or recommend his place to others!
