I am really disappointed with Martins place. The apartment was in a residential area and very nice, however the condition of the place was very poor.
There were ants in the kitchen, and the bathroom walls by the toilet hadn´t been wiped down, and the bath towels smelled mildewy and bad. The pillows in the living room also smelled of humidity.
The patio was extremely dirty. When I opened up the doors to go outside there was a lot of dirt and corrosion in the tracks.
At first, I started to wipe the tables and chairs down, that´s when it occured to me that ¨this is my vacation and this place is $180 per night and I shouldn´t have to clean on my vacation¨.
I don´t recommend this place, plus the host is very disrespectful, and he resides in California (not Hawaii) so this property is strictly a dry business transaction with no warm interaction from the host.
I had anticipated that renting a premium vacation rental in one of the best areas on the Big Island that I would have a better, cleaner and pleasant experience.
This place was a dirty.
My husband and I ended up leaving early and Martin said that he would not refund our money.
In the end we only got refunded $100, but we paid $1,677 for one week.
Martin seems nice at first, but he is really just shady and greedy.
Please stay away from this place, you´ll be happy that you did.
