Chandy was a great host. We only stayed here one night because we were leaving the big island for Maui at 630am the next morning. Her place is very close to the airport. About an $11 taxi ride. She met us at the door with her dog, Grizzly. He was super friendly and very calm. He never once jumped on anyone, licked us or barked. The house was very clean and well stocked. Chandy was extremely nice. She was kind enough to actually drive us to the airport at 6am so we didn't have to call a taxi. She also provides her guest with much information about what to do and see on the island.
