This apartment is best for a short stay of 1 or 2 nights. It is clean and in a very quiet neighborhood and in a convenient location for getting to the airport, Kona or up North. I don't recommend it if you plan on doing much cooking, as the kitchen is very small with almost no counter space, and it has minimal cooking implements. Also, the microwave is on top of the refrigerator, so if you are shorter than 5'5" you will have trouble using it (there is a step stool in the closet). The only table to sit at is the picnic table outdoors, which is nice in the morning, but exposed to the sun at noon and dark at night (there is a small lantern to use). Also, no protection from the rain. The lanai is small, but pleasant. The living space isn't really set up to spend much time hanging out in. So, in short, the place works if you're not planning on spending much time there or cooking there. Since we were there for multiple days, it wasn't a great fit for us.
