The listing was accurate - the apartment was very spacious and included a small kitchenette. I consider myself a modest person and as such was a bit leery of the private outdoor shower situation. However, this ended up being the best part of the room, and I actually found it incredibly relaxing and peaceful. The kitchenette included all of the basic amenities (eating ware, cups, etc.) along with a mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable. There were two entrances - one from a shared courtyard, and one from the street. The room was a bit noisy in the morning due to the street noise, being in the flight path of the airport, and due to people walking in the gravel courtyard. This was not a problem for us as we were up early anyways. The host was also aware of this, prepared us for it, and even offered earplugs during check in. Checking in and out was very flexible. We did not have a chance to meet Megan in person, however, we did meet Jasper, and he was very accommodating in offering recommendations for restaurants, things to do, etc. Coming from the other side of the island (Kona), by comparison, the neighborhood seemed a bit run down, and we were slightly worried about our choice at first. However, this was quickly alleviated once we explored and found three restaurants within walking distance that were excellent. Because of this, we actually found the neighborhood to be quite welcoming. There was plenty of nearby street parking, and we felt comfortable leaving our car. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at the Lohi Apartment.
