Comfortable and good location. Check-in was very easy with the gate code. Daryl's place feels very secure with that electronic gate as well as the door locks to the private room. Bathroom was very clean and between it, the bedroom, and this little closet kitchenette area (microwave, toaster oven, plates and cutlery), it was like a mini-apartment while I was inside.
There is a shopping centre about 8-10 minutes away by car. Has gasoline, a pretty good supermarket, McDonald's, and several other eateries. If you drive a bit farther up to Hilo, it then gets very commercial with Walmart's and all the usual stores. Volcano National Park was about 35-40 minutes from Daryl's, so very conveniently located. Hilo, Rainbow Falls and Akaka Falls are not too far either.
Whereas I hadn't planned to use it much, the Netflix and big TV in the room was very nice to relax to after a long day. There is no aircon, but the location and the house were reasonably cooler at night and in the morning and I never felt too warm. The ceiling fan in the room is a really good one.
