We arrived at Lihue around 8PM and needed a convenient place to spend the night before hiking the next day. I chose James's place because it was affordable, had a great location and because James was able to take care of our belongings while we were hiking. Everything worked out superbly. James's place is easy to find, sparkling clean, comfy bed, hot shower, and facilities to make a quick cup of coffee and breakfast in the morning before hitting the trails. James was friendly and excellent at communicating even though we were only there for ~8hrs. When I texted him early in the morning (630am) before we were about to leave, he made sure to come by and say hi, offer any tips and advice, and just welcome us to Kauai. I really appreciated the effort he made to make us feel welcome. He also was very flexible with storing our valuables, which was great to not have to worry about while hiking. All around, I highly recommend James's place. Thanks so much James!
