While waiting for a closing date on our house, I needed a place to stay after my month of temporary housing through my company was up. I originally booked a different place to stay that turned out to be a disaster and I needed to find a place that was available that night and wasn't too expensive. Thankfully, Allison's place was available, and she was very quick to respond, but then I had an issue with finalizing the booking through my airbnb account. Allison contacted them and got it resolved, and the rest of my stay there was seamless.
Easy to check-in, and everything I needed available. Full kitchen with utensils, dishes, and even tupperware. Allison and Jim were easy to communicate with and very friendly. They even moved the washer and dryer out of their house to an area behind the garage, provided laundry detergent and dryer sheets, so no issues when it came to doing laundry. No A/C, but honestly, with the windows open and the ceiling fan on, I actually woke up feeling cold in the morning. The bed was very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet, so definitely able to get a good night's sleep. The place has a separate entrance and it's own lanai that you can see the ocean from.
Ended up that my closing date was pushed back, so I had to leave Allison and Jim's place to go to another airbnb, but I would have extended my stay at their place in a second, if it had been available. I highly recommend booking their place if you're considering it. For visitors to the Big Island, Allison and Jim's place is very convenient to get to and from the airport, and it's just a quick drive into town. You get a quiet residential place to stay, but still close enough to everything.
