Guy was a great host. While we only stayed for two nights, the apartment is equipped for long term stays-very well stocked kitchen with all the appliances one could want. Private entrance. Access to washing machine. Easy access to the main highway to head into Hilo and the beaches or North along the coast. A little tricky finding it the first time, but really not a problem. The apartment also included all the beach accessories one needs. Guy was very responsive (mostly via text and email) both after we booked and while we were there . He stopped down the first day (he lives in an adjoining property) to make sure we had everything we needed and to give us advice on restaurants, things to do, etc. In all, a very pleasant experience and venue
