This is about as close and convenient as it gets for Kona. You're about a two minute walk from waterfront restaurants and the farmers market. The property manager had great communication and we really enjoyed our stay - the room was surprisingly quiet. One thing I would mention however is that the room is likely smaller and more dated than you might be expecting. The bathroom is very small and has no sink, so you will use the kitchen sink. The front room has the bed as well, so this is really more of a studio than a 1 bedroom condo. We live on Oahu which is pretty crowded with small living spaces, but were surprised at how small this unit was. All that said, it is a great place on a budget if you're just wanting to sleep and not hang around the unit too much during the day, get out and explore!
