The location and setting are very nice. It is a lovely tropical setting with a view of the surf in Hilo. We felt totally at home and it was a comfortable space with room to spread out, in the living space, bedroom and adjoining porch. We loved the birds, tropical flowers, lush garden and the night sounds of tree frogs. Maria was very welcoming and it was a quiet and private accommodation, which was perfect for a visit to Hilo.
