I’m a firm believer in the saying, “You get what you pay for.” This unit is exactly what you’d expect at the price point advertised.
The location is perfect. Very easy to walk to just about whatever you might need and free parking for your rental car - which you will need - to explore the rest of the island. You cannot beat the location or the view from the lanai.
The unit itself is just enough space for 2, but is beginning to show its age. While completely acceptable as temporary housing, if you’re accustomed to luxury accommodations, this is not the place for you. The A/C is a wall unit that struggles to cool the bedroom. We needed to reposition a floor fan to pull the cool air back.
Lastly, and this might be tricky given Airbnb’s refund policy timeline, but know that the volcano greatly affects this particular area of the island. There was one day the air quality was so poor we needed to leave and spend the day elsewhere. Properties north of the airport do not have the same problem. We probably would have changed our accommodations after the first night had we booked with a larger property that has a more reasonable cancellation policy.
