Could not have been better hosts. Fabulous people who go the extra mile to make visitors welcome. Ted & Pauline are former Californians who know how to treat people well and communicate easily. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay with them. Their fluffy cat & happy dog make friends with their guests. Space is good, parking is easy. Ted shows where to go and what to see on a very large screen in living room. Very glad to have met them and would return again. Hilo is a quiet, peaceful town with lots to do and see away from the bustle of Honolulu.
