I texted John that my girlfriend and I were on the way and he came out when we parked to greet us. You can arrive anytime after your check-in. What you get is a comfortable small bedroom with a locking door to the room and bathroom. Towels, washrag, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, liquid hand soap and pretty much the basics are provided. He has two kitchens. One for travelers and a master kitchen for he and his family. Kitchen has a small refrigerator. Has utensils and plates. You'll need to get your own breakfast and snacks. Ask for one of his home grown Papayas! Yum! A great breakfast addition. Also, the photo of his patio doesn't do justice. It's an amazing view, especially in the morning while we were out having breakfast. John is very approachable and likes to visit. It's a great opportunity to socialize with new people. I was skeptical about Airbnb because I had a spot reserved in Oahu and the host cancelled without any explanation. Luckily, it was two months before our arrival, so it wasn't a big deal. It happens. John kept our reservation locked in when I booked three months in advance and it was a refreshing feeling to know he had not backed out. All we needed was a place to crash because we were constantly on the go and his place is perfect for that. If you want a quiet cozy room to stay in, then John's is the place.
