Check in process was smooth and easy. The studio was just as pictured and had everything we needed and then some. The biggest plus for us was the location as it is just a 3 minute drive to shops and restaurants, and less than 10 minutes to Kahalu'u Beach Park for snorkeling! We were all over the island during our stay, but Kailua-Kona was a great spot to come back to. Mahalo!
