Chandy's house and set up is exactly as explained. It's not near downtown Kona and public transport would be difficult. But it's very close to the airport which is handy for some. I stayed 3 nights and only saw Chandy a couple of times because I was out all day. She was very nice and helpful with everything and let me use her phone to sort out a plane complication. She also offered that I help myself to coffee and a simple breakfast which I thought was very generous, but I was out too early and didn't worry. It is a family house where Chandy and other family members are, so don't think you are getting the place to yourself. However, the rooms (there are two available) are spacious, very clean and very comfortable, as is the shared bathroom. The bedroom is a nice private oasis with it's own TV, fan and aircon. The wifi was good. Grizzly was friendly and not scary. All was fine. I was happy and satisfied with my stay there but I wouldn't stay there if I didn't have a vehicle to use. Kona is about 15-20 minutes drive away.
