Walking through the lodging, you'll find it evident how much thought went into the little details. Liz, Nick, Knox, and Mochi represent the best of what AirBnb has to offer: considerate hospitality, with a personal touch and recommendations, at an affordable price (especially given the incredibly convenient location to explore all of The Big Island.
Downtown Kona is ~10-20 mins walking distance, but if you're staying for more than a couple days you'll want a car (got mine through Turo). Again, their recommendations for food and activities were all excellent. I would stay here again, and advise that you do too.
