Lia’s place was an amazing spot, which served as a perfect start of my holidays in Hawaii.
It’s situated en route to the Volcano National Park just outside Hilo. Tip: Once reserved, follow exactly her instructions on how to get there (dont simply rely on gmap or waze).
It was a comfortable stay and i truly appreciated the small yet significant added touches, like providing some snacks and fruits when i arrived (perfect after a long flight). Lia has every essential things you need to know in small folder in the room, hence its very unlikely that you need to bother her with queries!
The place is quiet and tranquil, which suited me. Some may not prefer the shower and toilet which is located outside the room (in the garage) but I have no qualms about it. It was also great to meet lia and her husband when i was about to leave, i wish i could have met them earlier and strike longer conversations!! Overall, a lovely place to stay at the east side of the big island.
