Karoline is an excellent host and very congenial. Her apartment is equipped with everything to meet your needs. My wife and I were amazed how Karoline thought of every detail and anything a traveler may forget to bring was available. A big plus of the apartment, according to my wife, was how clean everything is. Spotless. The bedroom is separate from the living/kitchen area, which allows someone to get up early and not bother the other person. The grounds are full of interesting tropical plants and there is a partial view of the ocean and the town of Kailua-Kona. Karoline provided us with local coffee and fruit from her own trees when we arrived. The house is located near the arty village of Holualua, which has some interesting shops. I cannot recommend Karoline's apartment highly enough!
