The best parts
++ hospitable hosts: got some advice about where to go and got coffee and milk from the hosts!
++ cozy front porch with a beautiful view of the lotus garden
++ fast internet: no issue with 4 people working and taking video calls at the same time
++ great location and easy walk (less than 5 minutes) to a bunch of restaurants and the Hilo Farmers Market
++ provided composting bins (the compost is likely quite useful in the garden)
++ fun to occasionally hang out with the dogs and cats in the nice garden
could be better
- the lack of a dining table or chairs for meals, work, or board games. It's hard to fit 4+ people at the countertop for meals
- the kitchen is minimal: no microwave, dishwasher, and no food seasoning (no salt or oil)
- more privacy around the shower area
