The location of the room was great...fairly central to both north and south of kona. The room was clean and just as described although the walls were paper thin and I was not aware there would be a permanent tenant in the adjacent room.
I had to get up very early for excursions and go to bed early but it was hard to sleep since the other tenant would come home really late and put on the tv past midnight. Just be aware if you're a light sleeper.
The outdoor shower was not covered all the way so beware of mosquitos. Also it's very easy to get locked out of the room and when I did so once I had to wait 2 hrs to get a neighbor to help and then wait for the host to come home with a spare key...it would be helpful if they hid one around the property just in case.
Overall I would stay here again for a night or two but not longer than that since the noise at night was uncomfortable. The hosts were very nice though and the bowl of fruit was appreciated.
