I live Pahoa and was traveling alone.
My flight arrived late and it took me longer to attain a ride to arrive at the house than I anticipated. Communication with Mark was prompt prior to check in and I was grateful for the ability to check in late as I had a long exhausting day of traveling. However, I did feel a bit judged and put off by the way Mark was questioning my journey, which made me feel uncomfortable.
This is a beautiful home and everything was pretty clean, but I did feel a little uncomfortable having to using the common area, outside dining, as the only place to eat with the children's things on the tables. A bit pricier than I like to spend for one night's shelter, without the ability to eat in the room for solitude as well as having a shared bathroom, but I was greatful that it was available as I had a long day of traveling ahead of me.
