We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Jo's place in December. The room was well furnished with a tropical theme and everything was sparkling clean. The location was great since it's close to Pololu Valley and Waipio Valley. You can enjoy the ocean view as you wake up each morning. There is a bit of street noise if you leave the windows open, but that's not an issue at night or if you keep the windows closed. We also appreciate Jo's hospitality. We arrived on Christmas Day and Jo gave us some delicious desserts to enjoy after a long day of hiking and driving. I'd recommend Jo's place to anyone visiting the Big Island!
