Daryl is a great host. Super friendly and helpful with local tips of things to see and do in the area. The bedroom I rented was spotless, the bed super comfy and the room had lots of conveniences like a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, water kettle and plates, mugs and cutlery, all cleverly designed into the closet space. I had a shared bathroom in the hallway but as not all of the three rooms were occupied I had it to myself. Plenty of parking space, and a lovely shared outdoor pond area with koi fish and hammock chairs, he also had friendly dogs and cats I enjoyed meeting:-) Definitely recommend Daryl's place as a great value for a Hilo-area stay.
