I am a solo woman traveler and felt very safe in Bill's place. It is actually a little bigger than the photos are able to show, and has a full kitchen with enough supplies to do major cooking if you bring your food. Check in was super simple! Since there is no cell phone reception (as noted in the description), it may be a good idea to arrive before the store closes at 5 if you think you may have questions. Most of the tours into the valley leave from the store (which is in the same building), so it is extremely convenient. The Waipio Valley overlook is right down the road. Enjoy the sounds of the coqui frogs at night! Everything you need to know is in the information Bill sends, so be sure to read it carefully.
