We stayed at Aaron & Aki's place for just one night. Still it feels so memorable. It is one of the most affordable, high quality Airbnbs I have stayed at during our Hawaii trip. The listing is a studio but so spacious and thoughtfully designed that it doesn't feel small at any time. It is part of Aaron's home but separate and private enough with its own parking and small space in the front. It is located in a great part of Hilo, super convenient to get to the Volcano National Park and just 5 mnts away from Maku'u point (offers an extraordinary ocean front view - thanks Aaron for the reco!). We reached the listing around 8 pm during a heavy downpour but had no trouble finding the place and was already captivated by the beauty of the front yard, and the sparkling new listing. The bathroom is stocked with everything you need and the kitchen is stocked with all essentials including heavenly Kona coffee (drank several cups). Can't recommend it highly enough. It's a perfect place for 2 people for a trip to Hilo for few nights. We found better restaurants and grocery options in Hilo downtown. Pahoa is closest to the listing but the one breakfast option we tried (Pele's Kitchen) was just okay. Do check out Aaron's guidebook. We checked out a few and all of them turned out to be great spots.
