The pluses: lovely view, great location. Ft. De Russy a great park/beach! Balcony great place to dry wet suits, towels. Area seemed safe to us.
The minuses: very strong, off-putting cleaners used. We had to keep balcony door open at night, several nights, to clear it out. That meant rough nights due to loud cars, police sirens. The pillows were awful. Slept on the sofa bed one night…it was what I imagine a prison cot to be like. Tiny shampoo/conditioner bottles, no extras provided despite asking. Only 4 hangers. More were promised by day’s end. They showed up the next day. No welcome basket or book. No tissues. Tiny fridge so be careful with groceries, leftovers. Annoying to have water dripping onto balcony from tenant above, slow to dump a/c water. Husband annoyed by how often he had to dump the a/c water—-has never had to do that at other places we’ve stayed. Overpriced in our opinion. By contrast, our next place in Kona was everything this place wasn’t!
