We were hiking the Kalalau Trail and just needed a place to crash. James's place was great for that. It was the cheapest place I could find near the trailhead. The location was good and James was very hospitable. Had we not had a rental car I think he could have given us a ride. He watched some of our bags while we were gone for two nights, which was really helpful (we didn't have to worry about them getting stolen).
The bed (futon) wasn't very comfortable and the roosters in the area were very loud (crowing starting at literally 1:30am right outside the window). Otherwise it was what we needed.
