We spent 4 nights at Mark's. It was a great stay. He was very aproachable and shared great tip on things to do in Kona area. He drive us around the area one night and showed us some great pleaces. We expected the place to be a private apartment, but it is a single room with shared bathroom and leaving space. There were other guests as well. However, the experience was excellent and we would highly recommend it to any short term travelers to Kona.
