mark's place is just as described and perfect for our quick stay. beautiful views off the balcony of the beach and the zoo and dimond head, much better than a city view in my opinion and great location
while we didn't use the kitchen stuff because their are so many great eats around it that looked plenty stocked with all the essentials.
check-in was simple, we where provided a key code to the door, and the building had us register how many guests were staying for the fire code, and they were very friendly.
Mark was great at communicating as we were looking for a recycling center to put the debris we found around the island and beach, and he was quick to offer some recommendations.
we chose to park our rental 2 blocks away in a parking garage, which fit our needs perfectly. about 30 for 24 hours
as far as noise from the bar, we personally didn't have any problems, and we stayed over the weekend and knew what we signed up for. once the balcony door is close, it's more of a low hum. if you are deep sleepers like us, it's not a problem!
there were beach towels as well as regular towels, which is super awesome when you are so close to the beach!
thanks again, Mark, for the great stay!
