Les is very communicative and responsive and a good host. His place is exactly as described and is perfect if you're looking for a place that feels like home and has all the conveniences you expect at home. For example the kitchen is well equipped, and the patio has laundry lines to hang our wet swimsuits -- so we were extremely comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much. BUT if you're looking for some hotel level experience, please stay elsewhere because this place is not for you. The unit has no AC so it may get warm in the afternoon. We stripped the sheets and took out the trash on the last day. We didn't mind 'cos we would do this if this is our home anyway, but some of you might have higher expectations. We would definitely stay here again if in Hawi.
