Pati truly embodies the spirit of Aloha and is the best host I could have asked for. Throughout my stay I felt like being a part of her family and not merely a guest. My flight to Kona arrived late at night and she along with her husband came to pick me up from the airport so I don't have any trouble getting to her apartment. The apartment is conveniently located on Palani road and is just a 7 minute drive from downtown. The room is located on the first floor and the bathroom is shared with her son who also stays on the same floor. The place was squeaky clean and better than what I expected based on the pictures. The coqui frogs in the yard croak at night and the roosters crow in the morning but it's barely audible with the windows shut. My flight out of Kona was late in the evening and Pati had no issue with me checking out whenever it was convenient for me. I would definitely stay at her place the next time I visit the big island. Mahalo for making my trip such a memorable one :)
