All units come with a balcony, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and a private bathroom with shower. A toaster, a fridge and stovetop are also offered, as well as a coffee machine. At the homestay, the units have bed linen and towels. Our host was amazing and welcomed us into his home. I really liked the personal touch. The space looks exactly like the photos. The amenities were expertly organized, and the home was well stocked. We would stay again next time we visit the big island. I wish we could have stayed longer. The host helped us solve some troubles we had with out rental car. We're grateful and appreciative of the Aloha.
