Mariana was very welcoming to my friend and I, who stayed at her home during a trip we took to the Kalalau Trail. While it is small (exactly as described) we found the room comfortable. The location is so nice, because they live near a golf community. There are single-family homes all around. This is a great feature if you're looking to get away from the "busy" downtown area of Hanalei or just stay away from touristy resorts.
