The location is a bit tricky but definitely private, minus the downstairs neighbor. Be very careful as they do have a couple steps down into the kitchen and into the bathroom. Edward's father greeted us the second day we were there and was very kind. Ed gave me good directions as well and picked up the late phone calls as well. I would recommend if you like to be away from busy streets and tourists, it's not that far from beaches or from the local restaurants in Kona. The Papa Kona restaurant was very nice and on the oceanfront. All in all, a nice trip. Only 3* because of the steps and how many times we tripped on them.
