We did not know that this was a split-level, townhouse style, apartment. We have a young child and ended up purchasing a baby gate and creatively moving furniture and luggage to keep her off of the stairs. It was still pretty tricky. We're leaving the baby gate here for any future renters with kids. That being said, this is a nice apartment with all the comforts of home. The porch is off the ground floor living room and is a nice place to sit. You can see the ocean in the distance off of the left side. The apartment is in a good location for checking out the Kona side of the island. We bumped into the neighbors and they were very nice and gave restaurant recommendations. All in all a very pleasant place to stay if the stairs are not a concern.
