Denise's place is as described. This was the first time staying at an Airbnb so it felt strange at first staying in someone's home. It is a large place with a bit of ocean view from the front and a verdant outlook in the back where the bedroom is located. It didn't take too long to get used to the geckos in the house and they can be fascinating to watch. The coqui frogs are extremely noisy at night, but despite that, I was able to sleep well in the comfortable bed. With a car, it was very easy to get around and explore Hilo and surrounding areas, and there are a few restaurants nearby. We had a nice stay.
