Karen has a beautiful and comfortable home surrounded by a lush, tropical garden. It is a very quiet place, perfect for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. She provided maps and information on local attractions as well as books and DVDs about local history and culture. When she learned I had missed out on the ti leaf woven lei class I had planned to attend, she offered to teach me herself. She is a gracious host and carefully assesses how much interaction each guest prefers. We truly enjoyed our time there.
