Great room

We needed something simple and close to UH Hilo while we got our daughter settled. We had a mini fridge and microwave in the room which was handy when we were home bound for a day waiting out the tropical storm. Beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and flippers were even available which was so nice. Check out was simple. I thought the bed was comfy and the AC and fan kept the room comfortable. Laundry was $5 and all the supplies are there.

All the basics plus privacy

This property offers quiet and privacy, located as it is at the back of a lot bordering school athletic fields. Budget travelers will find all of the necessities of a hosted property, with the bonus of a small, covered porch with seating to contemplate the colorful foliage. Check-in and check-out, including return of deposit, went well. Finding it at night was a challenge. The fairy lights draped on the host’s mailbox An initial problem of the TV receiving no signal was resolved within 24 hours. A gray, long-haired cat belonging to the host makes occasional appearances, but shyness keeps the encounters brief & distant.

Perfect space

Shared house with other units located in Hilo town. We had no issues with noise, unit was clean, and provided enough amenities for the few days we were there. Space has AC as well which was appreciated. Also, no coqui frogs in this area and that was nice.

Happy days

Everything was nice and easy. My hostess was extra nice, always quick to respond to my emails. The room was very comfortable, everything I needed was there for me. The information sheets about things to visit in Hawaii were very helpful. The lights were lit on my lanai everytime I got back after dark, the backyard was nicely mowed and had pretty flowers, every thing was pleasant and nice.
