We had a wonderful stay at Katrina's Ohana. We just visited for the weekend from another island and it was the perfect Hilo home base for our big island adventures. The space is simple, but clean, comfortable bed, great shower, and well appointed for our needs, including some basic kitchen things for fruit breakfasts, a Kuerig machine for a quick cup of coffee, and really nice washer and dryer which you might need for a longer stay. If you're not familiar with Hawaii living, be aware that it can be loud at night and in the early morning from roosters, frogs, and rain on the corrugated roof. Katrina provides earplugs if you need them-- we love the sound of rain on the roof and used to the chickens so no complaints here. By far the best aspect of the ohana is the location. Walking distance to the Hilo Farmer's Market (a must) and close to some of Hilo's great restaurants (try Chang Mai Thai). You are also well positioned to explore both the Hamakua Coast to the north and Volcano zones to the south. Katrina and her family are very sweet and respectful, we'd be happy to return for another stay!
