Marc is a wonderful host! Staying at his place was an amazing airbnb experience. Marc was always there for us, he helped with everything we needed and gave us great recommendations (we often use google to search for places but it's always better when a local person tells you where to go! :) not only about points of interest on Big Island but also on great (organic & vegan!) food and a farmer's market in town which was great experience.
He came over to us to tell us about Big Island and where we could go, we got a chance to talk to him about an amazing area he lives in and generally about life. We share a very similar outlook on life and really loved to interact.
The apartment has a very friendly vibe and has literally everything you need. We loved to find Kona coffee and organic goodies waiting for us in the fridge. It is sparkling clean and very comfortable. If you cook, you will be happy to find even the condiments and spices.
There are out-of-this- world views of the night sky.... we were lucky to watch a clear sky with no Moon (new Moon! :) so for 2 days in a row for the first time in our lives we got to see the Milky Way! Right from Marc's apartment, without going to Mauna Kea (which you can see from there)!
Marc has wonderful and super friendly dogs and we loved all of them.
Again, it was an exceptional experience and we would definitely love to be back.
If you're thinking about this apartment, don't think any more. Book it before someone else does it because it's one of the best, the most friendly airbnbs you will find out there.
