We enjoyed our stay at Monica’s home in Kona. The price was very reasonable, check in/out were easy, and the place was as described.
There’s a few reasons it’s only getting 4/5 stars from us. First, from a cleanliness standpoint, the trash bins inside the apartment were full of trash from the prior guests. Second, the bathroom wasn’t super clean, with black hairs visible in the sink and shower. While the apartment was good for a few nights, there was no real stovetop, oven, or dishwasher, so if you plan to cook at all this isn’t the best place. Finally, we found downtown Kona to be a little old/rundown.
Needless to say, this was an easy and nice stay for the price and convenient to walk to restaurants, etc.
