Had a great stay at Joan's. She communicated well and spent some time getting to know us. The location of the room is ideal for exploring the upper and west side of the island. We were able to see the valleys (Pololu and Waipio) in the mornings and catch sunset on the beach without much rushing. The room is great in that it has its own entrance, mini fridge (beers and leftovers), microwave and coffee maker. Joan provided breakfast on the first day, offered us beach chairs to borrow and also helped us with any questions we had. Wish we spent more than a few days, but we had to go. Mahalo for the hospitality Joan.
