Francesca's place was perfect for our 5-day stay on the big island. The location is incredibly walkable to Kailua-Kona downtown and within view of the coast; it felt like paradise from the moment we arrived. The bed was comfortable, cross-breeze (and A/C when needed) worked very well to keep the house cool on some very muggy days, the kitchen was well-stocked, and everything clean and well-organized. Even though we were well-prepared, we really appreciated the thoughtfulness of plenty of beach gear, sunscreen, and other essentials just in case. The lack of fully closing windows above the bed made for a bit of street noise, but we slept just fine with earplugs (which were also provided if needed). The host was very communicative with clear instructions for everything. We would absolutely recommend any one of our friends to stay here while visiting! Mahalo, thanks again!
