Great Airbnb rental. Relatively convenient and close to the hot spots in Kailua-Kona. Just minutes from a nearby Safeway (great poke!), KTA, and Walmart for supplies.
Pros:
-Convenient location
-Check-in was very easy, just went through the backdoor which it was already unlocked.
-Place was nice, clean, bright. It had AC and a lot of basic amenities (microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee maker, dishes and utensils, paper towels, beach towels, bath towels, ceiling fan to circulate air was very nice)
-Host was EXTREMELY communicative to my needs when the power went out
-Bed was comfy enough
-Smells good
-Clean (but also see below)
Cons:
-I did see 2 cockroaches in the bathroom at night.
-Electricity short-circuited because we were running AC and microwave at the same time. Note to future guests to only use 1 major appliance at a time or it will short-circuit. (But host was very communicative in giving us access to the garage to access the main breaker panel and reset the power).
-Minor con: not a lot of seating and dining space but that's not too much of an issue since we ate out most of the time.
-There was a dog in the main house that barked when we were packing up. It startled me a bit.
Overall my main impressions were very positive so I gave this a 5/5 even though there were some minor things like the power going out and the cockroaches. Compared to another Airbnb I stayed at in Hilo, I would rate this a 5/5 for sure!
