I stayed 14 nights (1 person). Overall my stay wasn't bad but there is room for improvement.
Pros:
great location and spacious room with lots of windows and natural light.
Cons:
1. On the Airbnb listing it is described as a 'Cottage', the owner's website describes it as a 'B&B' - it's neither; it is a studio apartment with a kitchenette (sort of) and is attached to a 4 bedroom vacation rental (also on Airbnb).
2. The mattress was way too soft for my liking
3. The fridge was tiny (dorm size cube fridge). I know electricity in Hawaii is expensive but even for 1 person this is too small; it's 13 miles to Pahoa where the closest restaurants and shops are so replenishing this tiny fridge 3 times a week or more is unrealistic. It also rattles and hums for 5-6 minutes every hour or so (this is a studio - the fridge is about 8 feet from the bed)
3. In the eaves of the room are 3 ventilation windows, that's good but they open to the pool area of the 4 bedroom rental. From this unit u can hear every conversation around the pool and spa area. Even when only 2 people were staying in the other house it was noisy - that house sleeps 14 and 14 people using the pool/spa would be VERY noisy. Just the pool filter running at night was noisy from inside this unit (and I'm normally a pretty sound sleeper).
4. I stayed 2 weeks and assumed somewhere in all the drawers there would be a second change of sheets - there wasn't (and no, I shouldn't have to ask).
5. For 1 person the price charged is ok and reflects that this is a studio with basic amenities provided - the extra person rate (2nd person) is $30 per person per night. If I had paid an extra $210 per week for 2 people I would feel ripped off.
