David's place doesn't have a kitchen but does have a small refrigerator and a microwave oven. For shorter stays it can't be beat. We were there during Cyclone Gabrielle and felt extraordinarily lucky to have found such a great place to weather the storm. It is located at the top of hill, so no worries about flooding. At night the winds were howling but inside you could hardily hear it. David went above and beyond to let us check-in a couple of hours early, the former guest had already checked out. We had to leave the last place and the weather was getting worse by the minute. The place was very clean and comfortable. Very nearby is a street with several restaraunts, grocery, bakery...everything you need. It was an enjoyable stay.
