(tl;dr) If you don't want to read the long review, here's the summary in short - It's better than you think; stay here! You're welcome.

I cannot think of how and where to begin describing our stay at Nedrra's place! What wonderful hosts! Daerick and Nedrra really changed the way we thought about airbnb. From the time we arrived at Kona airport, till we left, they were there for support, help, suggestions, guidance, and anything else AND MORE you can think of. As soon as we landed at the airport, we had text messages and voicemail with very clear and detailed instructions on how to get to their place, stops we can make on the way there, where we can eat, where to shop for groceries, etc. Since I always have a question or two more, I called them too, and Daerick was so so patient and extremely helpful with his knowledge of the island. Nedrra called back later, since she hadn't spoken with us earlier, and we thought that was so nice! They truly made us feel like we stayed with family or friends, instead of at a rented place. My husband said "they went out of their way to be so hospitable, I don't think we can ever have a good airbnb experience, now that we've been spoilt" . And it's true. We stayed at another airbnb right after this stay, and even though it was a nice, clean, quiet place, it just didnt feel welcoming enough, warm enough...just not good enough!

About the place, it truly is your 'private heaven'! So much greenery, the pictures don't do any justice to the real thing. The studio even prettier than it looks in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable and cozy, bathroom was spotless and beautiful, with a jacuzzi, kitchen came with all kinds of pots, pans and dishes, and (Nedrra was so kind and thoughtful to do this-) the kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials like rice, noodles, lentils, spices, etc based on our dieting preference + hawaiian snacks, fruits, bread, etc! Gosh, I could keep writing another two pages, and I would still have things to say. Overall, this is the best of what you can get from an airbnb, so definitely do plan on staying here if you are visiting Hawaii. I know we will again, for sure!
