Location was fantastic. If you want to be able to walk around the heart of Kona. We were right by so many shops and restaurants. There were four of us so two in the bedroom and two of us were in the living room on the pull out and we thought it was spacious and comfortable enough for the four of us. The view is really nice.
The address we were given through the app took us to a completely different location about 20 minutes away. We were in a rush to get into the room because check in was at 4 but we had reservations at 5 and needed to get ready and getting lost really set us back. We were finally able to find the actual address as it was in one of my emails. When we arrived, check in was a tad complicated as there are a few keys and codes involved but we figured it out fairly quickly. The A.C was not working but after a few hours of trying, my husband was able to fix it (he works in that field). If he hadn’t fixed it, our host was working with us to move to a different place and to be fully refunded or stay and be partially refunded which we appreciated. One thing that I wasn’t a fan of was that if you go on the app and try to get a hold of the host it’s through an agency so they take a little time to get back to you and if it’s Saturday or Sunday it’s not during their work hours so you have to call their ‘emergency hotline’ to get a hold of someone. We played some music on our balcony at about 8o’clock (not quiet hours) and the community condo manager (I’m assuming) told us to turn it off, which we did. We assume this man was the condo community manager because he was constantly doing his rounds and we saw him a lot during our stay. The pool hours were 9:30am-3:30pm while we were there which seemed an awfully early time to close the pool. At one point when we woke we realized that our condo smelled of cigarette smoke and realized our neighbors were basically chain smoking all morning. That happened once or twice. It’s also pretty noisy if you’re staying in the main bedroom as there’s a little window by the hallway. The WiFi we were given didn’t work.
Other than those few mishaps it is a good location. It is a cute, spacious condo with a view. Overall, I do recommend this Airbnb because of the location and the view. That made it worth it.
