We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s beautiful house in Hilo. We felt at home right away and enjoyed the gorgeous view every day. We felt the house was very well located in a quiet residential neighborhood, while at the same time very close to downtown Hilo. We found the house to be very comfortable, with everything we needed. After visiting both Kona and Hilo, we were glad we chose to make Hilo our home base as it felt less touristy and was so incredibly lush. Yes, it did rain every day (and even harder at night) but never constantly, so it never prevented us from doing any of the activities we had planned. And after a full day of sightseeing, it was always a pleasure to come back to this lovely home. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
