Laurence's place had lots of things to appreciate: 1. affordable. 2. close-ish proximity to Queen's Bath (20 minute walk) so that we never worried about a parking spot 3. the pool-we went in one night when it was raining 4. extras like beach towels, snorkel gear and beach chairs. The fact that the sink is next to the bathroom took a little getting used to, but the bed was comfortable and the place clean and well-stocked. Heads up that there's no laundromat in Princeville, so if you need to wash clothes you may want to make a day trip to Kapa'a. Laurence was very communicative and checked in via text. He gave a great recommendation for a surfboard rental shop in Hanalei.
