To call this apartment the SWEET ESCAPE will be a huge understatement. Besides the excellent quality of the apartment, the location is perfect. You have amazing restaurants/bars(Lava Java(the best!), Foster's Kitchen, Papa Kona, and so on) within walking distance. Since the apartment is in the middle of the island's west side, it will take you roughly the same time to drive to either end of the island and the Hilo side.
The host, Aaron was super friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The neighbors were amazingly nice as well! (Maybe this is a Hawaiian thing? XD) I am so glad I booked this Airbnb, and I will highly recommend this listing to everyone!
