Issa’s place was perfect for our stay in Kona. The place is as pictured, very clean and the porch was a perfect place to drink some coffee and birdwatch in the morning and sit and listen to the frogs at night. Issa’s guide to hilo had some great suggestions for beaches and restaurants. The apartment is a short 20 minute walk into historic hilo. Also check out Hale Inu Bar right outside the apartment complex for some live music.
