My husband and I just got back from our first visit to Hawaii, which also happened to be our first experience with Airbnb. We spent the first three nights at the Brazilian Pepper Suite (the remaining three at another Airbnb in Volcano), and we really enjoyed it! We arrived late-ish in the evening, and Barrie was waiting for us with the lights on to make sure we had arrived OK. The kitchen was stocked with several supplies that helped us fix our first dinner and breakfast (cans of Spam, tuna, tomato sauce, a frozen pizza, bread, coffee, half-n-half, a loaf of bread, etc.), which was very thoughtful of her! Barrie’s house is just what you see from the photos – there may have been a change in the shade of paint, but other than that it all looks just the same! It has an open layout which makes it feel spacious and airy, it has a very comfortable bed (it is quite elevated, so keep this in mind if you have any mobility issues), a daybed that is awesome for siestas, a round table next to the sliding doors that open on to the small lanai (where there is also a small table and chairs), a very nice desk/writing area under a window that overlooks the garden, and a very comfortable kitchen that is stocked with everything you need, from pots and pans to Ziploc bags and rolls of aluminum foil. At the time of our visit there was no microwave oven, but there was a toaster oven and almost any other appliance you might need, plus a full-size fridge and a four-burner stove top. The bathroom is very comfortable and has a lot of built-in shelves to keep your toiletries handy. The shower was great (wonderful temperature and powerful flow) and there was a good supply of towels. The only small “issue” we had was that when we arrived the bathroom sink was badly clogged with something that had fallen into the drain. By the time we let Barrie know (the following day) she was no longer in the area, but she gave us the green light to try to fix it on our own if we didn’t want to wait. So we did, by scooping out the obstruction, and problem solved! The house was clean and well stocked with most everything you might need, though we did not get a chance to use more than a few of items. We saw an iron, an ironing board, a vacuum cleaner, a beach chair and a bodyboard, a small TV and a nice Bluetooth speaker, among others. The neighborhood is very quiet, and even though there is a house right next to the apartment, we never heard a noise or saw anybody. We woke up every day to the sound of birds singing outside the window, which was beautiful. The location worked wonderfully for us, and from here we easily drove to North Kohala, the beach resorts and Mauna Kea....
