Emily and Rob are fantastic hosts. They are quick with their communication and extremely kind and generous to their guests. We appreciated the extra touches like their list of favorite places to eat, things to do, etc.
The location of their home is perfect. So quick and easy to get to Hanalei, Kilauea, and to the shops/dining in Princeville. We were also impressed with the amount of space we had. The bedrooms are very large and living area was as well. Perfect if you have a bigger group or two couples.
The only complaint we had was a small ant issue that Emily and Rob were obviously dealing with (they had traps set). Unfortunately, the bathroom had a lot of ants in the shower and on the ceiling, which meant we took extra care with our luggage and any food to ensure they didn't show up in our bedrooms/living areas. I think because Emily and Rob's place doesn't have AC, the ants might be an output of having the doors and windows open for airflow. Yes, the doors and windows do have screens but I think they still might be finding their way through broken seals and such. Anyway, wasn't a huge issue...just a surprise when we went to take showers!
