The photos and description are exactly as advertised. We were a bit fatigued checking in due to the time change and our early morning flight. We suggest just going up Alii Drive going South to the 2nd outdoor market. They have a free parking lot, and you can grab a snack while waiting for checkin. The location is perfect for downtown Kona. We used the airbnb as a base for day trips to Hilo, Koholoha and South Kona. You can also go to Volcanoes National Park which is doable in one day, but we chose to to overnight there and leave most of our stuff in the condo. The town of Kona is very quite during the day, but at night it comes to life (as in perfect for families) and it is nice to sit outside, eat dinner, listen to music and relax after a day of site-seeing. You do need a car to visit the Big Island (Hawaii) and the parking lot is very convenient. The parking is in the back of the condo complex, so we suggest using the restaurant "Noodle TK" in your phone app to find your way and to avoid driving on the busy street Alii Drive. The mornings were cool and pleasant to eat outside on the outdoor deck (lanai) as pictured. The condo was large enough for 2 people to spread out. The kitchen was well supplied with equipment. We mostly did hiking, but for those who want to snorkel or hit the beach, the airbnb had supplies for that. Given the size of the complex, we couldn't hear much noise from the room. And for relaxing at night, the television is Roku with cable also available, which is also nice after a long day of driving and hiking.
