It could have been so much better …………..
That’s not to say it was bad by any means.
Here’s my take on this apartment.
It’s a generously large one bedroom (2 bathroom) apartment that has space for at least 4 people. Its in a great location in downtown Kona, close to everything.
However.
If you are thinking of doing any serious cooking the kitchen be aware it is woefully understocked with equipment and utensils. You can just about manage the basics (and even that can be challenging)
There were no herbs/spices/oils etc ………….. nothing ! (not even salt and pepper). You would have to do a serious shopping exercise if you want to produce anything tasty.
Outside of that, the apartment seems to be suffering from a lack of general maintenance. Some items are broken and some are in need of repair. The Wi-Fi router sits on the floor and as a result the signal is poor unless you are close to it. I specifically asked if there was beach equipment (chairs/ umbrella etc.) and I was informed that there is 2 chairs (and a new umbrella would be provided)
Both chairs were seriously dilapidated and constituted a real risk to anybody who sat in them. I complained about this and to be fair to the owner they did replace them after a few days. However the umbrella never showed up.
If you want to watch TV you will have to sit very close (its tiny)
The sofa in the living room was seriously smelly.
We had a regular supply of mosquitoes to contend with, I think this is due to the water feature just outside the apartment.
As my opening line suggests, this could have been so much better, with a bit of money spent on the maintenance and equipment (as well as consumables) this would have been an excellent place to stay.
