T and his family were excellent hosts. They were thoughtful, diligent, helpful, and warm. The location is amazing and the fresh fruit from the farm is a real daily bonus.
For those who had previous concerns about internet access. During the start of my stay, I did have to use a mobile hotspot that T provided for internet access which mostly worked but occasionally could be a bit flaky (through no fault of T’s, he went out of his way to get a separate jetpack and make sure it was always topped off. ) While I was there, Hawaiian Telecom finally came and hooked up DSL service which I used for about 10 days. Bandwidth is 10mbps down and 1mbps up with 30 to 50 ms latency. It was reliable. So perfectly adequate for zoom calls, web browsing, email, etc. It’s not going to be blazing fast like if you are in the heart of a major city, but the point of coming to this place is the remote natural beauty (which is stunning) so it’s pretty amazing to have internet access at all.
