We stayed with Maria and Steve for 4 nights and had a wonderful time in their apartment. We arrived before check-in, but Maria welcomed us very warmly and we could leave our things without any problems. The apartment is spacious and clean. The kitchen on the lanai was different and very fun! Whenever we met our hosts they were super friendly and helpful. For us Maria and Steve's apartment was the perfect location for our trips around the Big Island. We would definitely stay with them again!
