Staying at Genevieve's (and Dan's) place was such a different experience from the sights and sounds and smells of the jungle parts of the island. Some of the things we loved about it were the genuine and caring hosts, the peace and quiet, the desert plant scents, the wide open views of the ocean across the lava and the sky with its ever changing clouds during the day and views of the stars at night. The place is indeed cozy, so don't bring too much luggage that you don't need anyway. The bed is comfy, the outdoor shower is hot and ready for you and it is fun to make your meals in the outdoor kitchen as well.
