We really enjoyed our stay at Mary's studio. The apartment was extremely clean, and all the appliances were brand new. Having a washer/dryer was great on our vacation. The apartment was centrally located to all of our Kona activities. Mary was very accessible by email. In many ways the apartment exceeded my expectations. The only caveat - the shades in front were partially see-through. Since the bedroom was in the front of the apartment facing a busy street, I wasn't so comfortable ever having lights on at night. Considering how nice and new all the appliances and furniture are in the apartment, I thought this was an easy fix.
