Trudy's place was clean and well-appointed. The pool was warm and large and often we were the only ones there.
Trudy's home lacks a table for eating on, which made our stay difficult. There is a bar which seats three, but it kept collapsing and wouldn't stay up. The outdoor tall table seats two but is directly facing the parking lot and has no lighting.
The location would be great for some, since indeed it is close to town. For us it was loud, especially when the drive-through next door got busy (which mostly was at night, as we were trying to sleep). The hill that we walked down to get into town was difficult for my 70 yr old mom and 4 yr old son, though it would be fine for most people.
The place is also quite small and lacks a/c. It was hot, but with the fans it wasn't bad. The fans also helped mask the noises outside.
Trudy was very communicative. The grounds of the complex were nice and getting around and outside Kona was very easy from the location.
