Aesthetic: the apartment and property are beautiful.
Communication: communication is quick and easy and the host had some good restaurant recommendations.
Cleanliness: everything is very clean in the apartment.
Location: not in walking distance of Kona nightlife area, but location is quiet and nice.
Amenities: washer/dryer, misc condiments, big walk in shower with good water pressure and long lasting hot water.
Negatives: the air conditioning at full power and lowest temperature is quite weak. Took 24 hours straight running at max power to get the apartment comfortable (into mid 70sF in autumn). Not a fan of being asked by host to do their laundry and dishes before checkout. I’m paying a cleaning fee for a reason. Still, a good experience overall.
Note: no elevator and apartment is on 3rd floor. Not really an issue for me, but worth mentioning.
