This studio was as described, and is in a quiet, cute, and safe neighborhood. It's walkable to several beaches, including Magic Sands, and is a short drive from the downtown area with all of the restaurants. We did cook a couple of the nights, so didn't need to go into town much, but if you don't plan on cooking, you will have to drive around to find food. There are plenty of restaurants scattered throughout Kona, but if you plan to go downtown, parking can be tough to find. Otherwise, the location was great, and the apartment worked out well for me and my sister. Would definitely recommend!
