Chandy is awesome! I was so grateful that Chandy opened her home to me last minute and amazed by her hospitality. The room I stayed in was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was a little on the warm side with no a/c but the private room had a ceiling fan and Chandy also provided a portable fan that helped to cool it down. She has a big dog named Grizzly but he was a sweetheart and super friendly. She offered juice, a water, and food and even made a pot of coffee in the morning. She is a very warm and inviting person that makes you feel at home. Her house is located very close to the airport and not too far away from town. From the top of the hill leaving her house, I was able to see a beautiful sunset as I drove down. There are also a lot of state parks/beaches near by. Over all I had a great experience and would recommend Chandy's Place to everyone visiting Big Island staying on Kona side and trying to save on $.
