Maria & Steve's place was conveniently located in Hilo, 10-15 minutes to shops and food. We met Maria briefly when we checked out, but her friend Alexa showed us our space and was very friendly. The lanai was beautiful and the room was very spacious - it even had a full kitchen!
My only complaint is the wifi wasn't working well, but I had LTE service on my phone so it wasn't too bad. Would definitely recommend!
