The place it great, especially if you stay longer than two nights. Since the volcano national park is currently closed, I did not have a rental car, and I walked around downtown. The room is very clean and free of ants, etc. The $50 cleaning fee and the food/trash rules worked very well in the apartment. Much better than a hotel room, because the studio apartment has a full size fridge with a freezer (great for ice cream, drinks, etc.)
Enjoyed walking to the local restaurants and the Kona Brewing Company.
Helpful hints: If arriving at the Kona Airport without a rental car, at this time both Uber and Lyft can not pick you up from the airport, but nearby works. Instead take the free rental car shuttle to get away from the airport.
If you enjoy some beer, I strongly recommend the Kona Brewing Company (inside the air-conditioned bar). Great people/atmosphere and good beer prices (often better than the happy hours at other locations).
