We stayed in big room next to the living room. Marc has a nice house in residential area, just outside of Kona. Best to have a car here. Room was big with comfy bed and bathroom also large and clean. Mark is a very relaxed host and will happily explain everything to you, also where to go. It would have been nice to have a lock on our room but Mark assured it was fine. In more places we stayed in Hawaii, the big island, the rooms/house were normally not locked. Overall we had great stay at Mark's in Kona and were able to see a lot. Kona is well located on the east side of the island and you are able to see a lot from there. Best to have a car!
