We had a great stay at Kristina's studio apartment. For us the location being mid-point between the North Kohala coast and Volcanoes National Park helped make it convenient to get around without too much driving. The gas stove made for quick cooking and the king size bed was super comfortable. Excellent coastal hiking over the lava stones at the bottom of the street was a plus. Unfortunately the ocean was too rough at the neighbourhood beach for swimming and snorkeling but Ho'okena beach approx. 7 miles away was perfect for both. Kristina is extremely helpful and welcoming and an excellent and knowledgeable host. She provided us with helpful tips on food, attractions, etc. Highly recommended and affordable.
