Area is around 4 to 5 blocks to the main downtown Kona area. It is on a hill, so be prepared to walk up and a down a hill, but it isn't so bad. The street does not have any light posts, so it will be dark after around 7:30 to 8pm, if you plan on walking back from the main Kona area. Safeway and Walmart are around 2 to 3 blocks away, so it was in a pretty centralized location. The unit does have fans and A/C, which came in handy during the hot days. The outside area was perfect to eat breakfast, as it was nicer weather in the mornings to eat outside. You can see mongoose and geckos in the patio walking about, which we don't see those critters in Oregon, so it was really nice. All the appliances advertised were there. The unit was like a studio apartment, but we were mainly there in the mornings and nights, so the size did not really matter. There were big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, and body wash under the bathroom sink. We brought our own not knowing. Katie/Hank were responsive to our messages during our stay. The washer/dryer are just around the corner from the unit. We went to Safeway to get quarters for laundry. I would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed that we could make our own meals, and not worry about pots/pans and spices. Most spices needed were already there. Saved a lot of money not having to go out to eat for every meal. The upstairs neighbors did make noise, such as played basketball outside and just footsteps in general coming from upstairs. We would just watch TV to filter out the noise at night or turned on A/C.
