Our stay here was good. The apartment was nice and had a more than adequate supply of everything we needed. It was quiet and away from it all, which was nice. Mark is a great guy, and communication with him was great! He let us use his spotting scope to view the volcano as a previous guest had mentioned, which was great! Other previous guests had mentioned issues with the air conditioning in the apartment, but we had no issues with that at all. Never even turned it on. We were gone all day every day we were there, and the place would be pretty warm when we got back. But we turned on the fans and it cooled off in decent time. We fell asleep each night night with the windows open, and the sound of coqui frogs out in the yard. The biggest issue we had was the location. This was our first time to the Big Island, and we didn’t have a strong understanding of where everything was. With what we know now, and given everything we wanted to see and do, we might have been better off closer to Hilo. But that’s no reflection on Mark or the apartment.
