One of the best airbnb places I've stayed in. Galina is a wonderful and kind host (like a second mother!) - she took care of the five of us, offering extra towels, fresh local fruit and help whenever we needed it. Her place was equally nice and accomodating - much better than I expected from the pictures posted. It is a quite new "granny flat" (i.e. a separate and self-contained apartment behind Galina's own home) , located at the top of a hill with a very beautiful view of the ocean. At night, you can even stargaze here as the sky is just so clear and just lights up with stars. It's a 15 minute drive into the main part of Kona - but well worth it to have the view it does and to be located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood. The place itself is nicely furnished, clean and has everything you could need (all the kitchen essentials, towels, and even beach gear). Parking is ample. Thanks Galina for sharing your place and life with our family. We'd be keen to stay here again if we are ever on the Big Island!
