Marisa's place is just as advertised. It is perfect for a couple. I particularly enjoyed the thoughtful touches such as a clothes hanger right outside to hang wet towels and swimsuits. There is also a chair and table outside in the garden where I had dinner most evenings; very peaceful and relaxing. The studio is also close to everything (shops, restaurants and attractions on Ali'i Drive) however I recommend getting a rental for convenience. We had Netflix even though we didn't stay inside the apartment during the days because it was too beautiful not to go outside. I felt very secure during my stay with Marisa responding almost immediately to my enquiries. She was very helpful and kind. She even recommended the luau at the Royal Kona resort and I could not have been happier. The neighbourhood is super quiet and that made resting easy.
