This is local Hawaii living, so be advised. Wide open windows, poor AC, houses close together so little privacy (quiet mornings and evenings). Walkable to downtown Kona was nice. The value was not there for me, with a $200 cleaning fee and a two night stay, the per night was too high.
For those of you that are Airbnb regulars, this was not warm and welcoming like I am used to. While we were met at the house to exchange the car keys and door code, that was the extent of the 'welcome'... there were no 'goodies' in the apt for snacking and hydration, no creamer pods for coffee. Suggested to the owner to upgrade all surge protectors to include USB ports as a favor to the guests.
The car rental was a regret. It was not clean, USB port was not operational, and made no sense to pile on top of that expense transport to and fro airport via Uber. (Would have been better if we just needed it for a one day excursion.... no biggie, live and learn)
