We LOVED Anne's place! It's huge, clean, comfortable, and very well located for hiking the Waipio'o and Pololu Valleys, and visiting the cute north coast towns. Waimea has at least one excellent restaurant (the Fish and Hog...we ate there twice!), a nice coffee/breakfast stop (Waimea coffee company). Although Anne is a new host, she already is in the Airbnb spirit and very responsive to any requests. Also, I really appreciate that she does not charge an outrageous cleaning fee, as so many other Airbnbs do now. I would definitely stay with Anne again.
