The apartment on K---- Street is a great place, especially for an extended stay. When I was there, the owners were still in the process of putting the final touches on the place, so it was a bit "in progress," but it sounds as though it will be quite beautiful when they're done. It was certainly comfy and very clean for my stay. I loved the garden out back, the smell of flowers in the air, and the dozens of birds on the patio in the morning. There is a second AirBnB unit alongside, which I hadn't realized, and the only irritating thing was that there didn't seem to be any other option for parking other than directly in front of my door. I hope the hosts find a way to work that out so that the patio can stay a patio for both units; it's too nice to be a garage! The location is halfway up the hills above Kona, about 25 mins from the airport. Be aware that when you come down the hill to get on the Belt Road/Hwy 11, which is your only way in and out, there is very slow traffic during weekday morning rush hours. In fact, for a place with only about 12,000 inhabitants, there is a lot of traffic in Kailua-Kona most of the time. That's going to be true anywhere you stay in town, so factor that into your travel time -- as well as the fact that you can't go faster than 45 on most roads. That said, this property is just about smack dab in the middle of most places you'd want to go: the beaches and other attractions north toward Waikoloa or south toward Kealakekua Bay, and certainly well placed for the "center" of Kailua-Kona, though there's not exactly what you'd call a downtown. You're about 20 mins from CostCo, which has the cheapest gas in town. I found the host charming and kind and, because I was staying a week, the laundry facilities and well-stocked kitchen (with real refrigerator and full-size stove) were very welcome touches.
