I have used Airbnb quite a lot and I would say that my stay at Budd's was one of the best. His place was well maintained and clean. Sheets and towels had that "just washed" smell. His excellent reviews say it all, and it is all true...including the fantastic banana bread! Budd is the old school true spirit of Airbnb...meeting new people, staying with locals, learning and seeing how other people in other places live. He invests his time and energy in his guests (if that's actually why you are using Airbnb). He will talk to you (and he's a fun guy to talk to), he will give you local tips, and he'll help you make arrangements if you need help. Bottom line..Budd wants his guests to have a great time while they are visiting his hometown of Kona. I highly recommend Budd's place for your stay on the Big Island
