This room worked out really well for us during our 4 days in Kona, and we'd happily stay there again!
Things I liked:
- Location was super convenient to downtown Kona, just steps away from the beach and eating
- Property was pleasantly landscaped
- The apartment is remodeled inside, and in particular the kitchen/bathroom area was nicely set up and very clean
- Door lock uses the more modern "touch" keycard and not the old hotel "swipe" magnetic strip kind of keycards, so totally reliable
- Convenient to have a kitchenette with microwave, cooktop, medium size refrigerator right in the room.
- Check-in was straightforward
- Property was quiet
Glitches:
- Google Maps does not locate the property correctly. Use Apple Maps, or start the checkin process in AirBNB before you actually arrive, so that you can see the photos and instructions provided
- The parking lot is shared by all units in the complex and there aren't enough spaces, so sometimes you may have to park on the streets nearby. This took us by surprise late one night when we were pretty tired, and it was unclear at first where it was safe to park without getting the rental car ticketed. It turns out that there is a decent amount of free parking near the complex once you know where to look, so we did OK, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that this might happen.
