I enjoyed my stay at Mary Jo’s. She was a super accommodating host and very responsive. I came to work remotely after spending my first week down the hill on Ali’i drive. Pros: lots of space, comfy bed, everything you need to cook for yourself, a great little work nook, cute geckos and a very friendly neighbourhood cat come around. Cons: This is the country / rural so it’s really important to have a car while you’re here. It’s about a 10-15 minute drive to town. The internet isn’t strong enough for lots of zoom or video calls but if you were just planning on emails (or no work at all) it would be good enough. The frogs are VERY loud at night and sound more like chirping birds. It’s charming at first but loses the jungly magic after a few days. Bring earplugs! I thought there would be more going on in the town of Honolua but it was pretty sleepy and everything there had very limited hours. Mahalo, Mary Jo 🌺
