Liz was really nice and provided great local tips, which we found really useful. Liz also provided a detailed itinerary based on the days we were staying, which was really a very sweet and personalised touch. Liz also provided very detailed directions to the address, and provided check-in instructions before the trip so that we had no problems with check-in despite not having data/wifi when we landed. The location is approximately 25 minutes from Hilo, and 2 hours from Kona.
However, there were heaps and heaps of mosquitoes in the house despite the windows and doors being closed. We also spotted a cockroach on the ceiling, and lizards behind the ornaments on the wall. However, note that this is located in the middle of a rainforest environment and hence some insects are to be expected. However, there was a dead lizard under the AC.
The house was a little too dim and smelt slightly musty. However, Liz's place is very well equipped with utensils and it felt like staying at a friend's place which was great.
