Mark's place was great! We stayed in a really nice and clean room, the bathroom was good as well. The only thing is the kitchen, Mark has some equipment that you can use, but a couple of things that you would normally except are missing, but it is possible to prepare food for yourself. Mark is a friendly host, we met him in the morning and he even offered us a ride to our shuttle pick-up location. It was highly appreciated since we had a ton of luggage. Downtown Kona as well as a Walmart are in walking distance. The view is great! I would definitely recommend his place!
