Mark is an absolutely wonderful host and the place is all we could have asked for! Mark was very responsive and the check-in/our process was very smooth. The neighborhood is BEAUTIFUL, with lush vegetation and the lovely sound of tropical birds and insects! The apartment itself is PERFECT - on the smaller side, that’s true, but sparkling clean and with literally all of the amenities we could have asked for! We had a fantastic, albeit short, stay at Mark’s place and we would wholeheartedly recommend his studio to all of our friends visiting the beautiful Hilo region.
