This was a great location, very relaxing, just enough luxury but far enough out of the way. Jonathan and Malcom (the hosts) were excellent beyond description, very polite, and responded to any questions or requests we had very quickly (for example, needing propane for the barbecue, needing to do laundry, wanting to change bedding, wanting to crack a coconut open). I have no complaints whatsoever.

The house is roughly 20 minute drive from main Hilo area, and maybe 10 minutes from Pahoa the other direction. We were "tourists", first time to Hawaii, so we were driving around the sights, and the location is very good to hit them all. The house is a very neat "sustainable" house, so hot water etc. is heated by the sun (which means you need to try to get showers in while the sun is up). We got all our cooking done at the apartment, plates, pots, pans, everything is provided. There is a TV with netflix etc., everything was great. I highly recommend staying here, and very reasonable.
