Jing and Julie’s home is a short $8 Uber ride to the heart of Kona. I visited Kona during a very low inventory time so had to switch lodging during my trip. Jing and Julie’s butterfly room is accurately described. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was spotless. There is a soothing teapot shaped lamp that doubles as a nightlight and there is a huge charging station for all of your gadgets. Outside the sliding glass door of the room is a covered deck with a small fridge for storing leftovers. The home is in a very residential location so if you arrive after dark like I did Jing can help you with check in. Initially, I worried I would disturb other guests as I had to repack for my flight the next day. The cottage is a shared space with Jing and Julie plus another guest. I felt a sense of privacy though with my door shut. Jing reassured me it was ok to shower at night (I didn’t want to make too much noise). Jing is very kind and hospitable. Book away!
