LeeAnne was a charming, and accomodating hostess. Communications with her were excellent, and she provided an extremely helpful guide as to how to locate Monkey Pod Villa.
On first impressions we were a little disappointed with LeeAnne's one-bedroom apartment; it was smaller than we had anticipated, and I had missed that there was not a full kitchen.
Having said that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there; the size was no issue at all, and we were able to prepare any meals we wanted with the facilities provided. The apartment's location is spectacular, secluded and with a wonderful view of the property's beautiful garden, and we very much enjoyed watching the colourful birds that frequented the garden.
However, the location does come at a price; at almost 1000' above sea level, the drive up the hill, and part way back down again, is "interesting". I fully appreciate why LeeAnne recommends checking in before nightfall!!
In her description of the property, LeeAnne comments that because of the altitude, a/c is not provided. Coming from dry Alberta, we would have found it beneficial.
In the final analysis, we would happily recommend LeeAnne's property to anyone planning to visit the "Big Island", who would rather not stay beachfront.
