This apartment suited my needs. Certainly not fancy, matched the pictures and description. I stayed only one night and just showered and slept. Marc greeted me and made sure I had found the key. I appreciated the convenient off street parking and being able to walk to the strip-easy walk to the water, shops and restaurants. I was traveling alone and felt safe staying here. While the noise wasn’t too bad, there definitely was some right outside the open windows. I’d stay here for a night again.

The host was great with communication. The unit wasn't what i expected it to be for the price. Was very clean and towels available and such.Easy to locate. Actually arrived late in the evening and left early to catch a flight. I come from a large city and felt the price didn't match the unit, was my greatest disappointment. Parking was easy to find in the front. I do not, not recommend it, but would find something different for myself if i were to return.

Convenient location , quiet, private with parking. Bed & pillows need an upgrade and no A/C which was fine for us but might not be for others. Shower clean and good hot water and pressure. Fridge was helpful. Good pricing too.

Perfect in town location

We needed a basic place to stay for our arrival in Kona before our stay further south was to begin. Easy to find. Clean, small kitchenette. Fan helped since no AC. Quiet location. Parking right outside the door. Rooster wakeup call. Owner very kind, and helpful and available if needed. Would definitely stay here again.
