We stayed three nights at Jim and Allison's place. They are very nice and correspondence was easy. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. It gets quite hot during the day inside but cools off nicely with the fans on and windows open during the night. AC is available at an extra charge. It is generally a quiet neighborhood although the nearby street is very busy with through traffic. The location is great for exploring the Kona coast or going for a sunrise trip to Mauna Kea. It is also close enough to shops and restaurants but without all the noises associated with those. We would stay there again and can recommend it to other travelers.
