A fantastic place to stay in a rural and beautiful part of the island. It was very quiet and peaceful - a great place to return to each day after exploring various parts of the island. Because it is centrally located in the norther part, it was easy to explore everywhere from the Hilo side, north to Hawi, and the western coastline down to Kailua-Kona in day trips. Weather ranged from rain to beautiful days of sun and clouds with great views of Mauna Kea. Picture and description of the studio apartment are very accurate. It is spacious, comfortable, stylish, and spotlessly clean. If you wanted to cook, it has a modern kitchen. If not, it is conveniently close to restaurants and stores in Waimea, which is a fun place to explore too. A washer and dryer is located inside with laundry detergent provided. Jessica was a wonderful host - providing plenty of information ahead of time, instructions and directions for check-in, a complete handbook with instructions for everything in the studio and suggestions for sightseeing, and follow up during my stay. Lots of nice amenities and touches. I loved it there and would definitely stay again. Thanks Jessica and Kaeo!
