Thomas was gracious and his roommate Don was very kind. They are worldly, intelligent and upbeat people. Kailua is a lovely town within easy driving distance to the airport (about 30 minutes) and beautiful beaches. Thomas is working to correct some issues with the room. He was in the process of having a privacy wall built while we were there, and taking measurements to hang blinds in the plentiful windows. The room nicely furnished, spacious and airy with a view of the back garden and pool (which was also a delight). We are not fussy people - privacy was the only real issue - the new wall will help enormously to separate the room from the rest of the house. The kitchen is just on the other side of french doors and Thomas was a night owl. We are early birds. I wear earplugs to sleep as a matter of course but my husband was disturbed a little by the noise in the kitchen during the night. Also : don't leave anything in the car when you go to the beach!
