Perfect if you're looking to explore Hilo and nearby towns. This place is about ~8 mins away from downtown and all the good restaurants in Hilo. It's also close to a lot of attractions like Kaumana caves and rainbow falls.
Shannon was a great host and her space is very tidy! The best part of my stay was starting my day with papayas from Shannon's garden. There is no microwave or stove in this place, so it's perfect if you're not hoping to cook.
