Shannon’s place is absolutely wonderful! It’s situated at a GREAT location. 15 minutes jogging distance to Rainbow Falls, and VERY near Hilo township.
The place itself is beautifully decorated. My boyfriend and I were stunned when she first greeted and opened the doors to show us the apartment. It’s extremely spacious, clean, and well decorated.
She provides a coffee machine, which coffee powder, fridge (with a jar of chilled water) and two drinks, and an array of tea sachets. The following morning, she also provides fruit and granola!
Shannon had notified us at check-in that the hot water takes a while to heat up - the first night, it didn’t seem to heat up AT ALL despite waiting really long, to which she responded quite quickly (but it still didn’t heat up). But for the subsequent days, the water heated well! Wifi was a bit dodgy on two occasions which was very strange. But after a while it would start working again.
All in all, GREAT place, and I would recommend to everyone! Probably our favourite AirBnb of our entire trip to Hawaii!
