Communication with Joan was good using messages with the Airbnb site. The guest room was comfortable. Cooking equipment was a microwave and coffee maker. We economized by eating at the Fish and Hog and had enough left over meat and coleslaw for 2 meals - microwave potatoes or stuff a pita with the meat. With the fruit and avocado we had with us from the Kona and Hilo areas, we ate like kings. Our weather was not great - got down to less than 9 celsius (50 fahrenheit) at night. Joan graciously offered us a space heater. But we are tough Canadians and declined. Joan had bottled water in the fridge. If it had not been cool and raining we would have appreciated it. Joan also agreed to take our left over food as we left Hawai'i after our last night. Thanks Joan
