We are a family of four (2 teenage sons) having a family vacation on Oahu and the Big Island. Rachel provided us with a fantastic place to stay. The "basement" apartment (More like a lower level. There are large windows all around, so you don't feel like you are in a basement) had more than enough room for all of us, with a full kitchen and a large bathroom with a huge shower. Rachel even offered a sleeping cot so the boys did not have to share the spare futon. It is also in a great location. You are only 5min from the seaside edge of Hilo where several shops and a grocery store are located. Rachel was a great host, full of great suggestions. On our first day there, Rachel recommended a great little local beach for us to go swim and snorkel at. This was my younger son's first time snorkeling and had an amazing time. Just wished we would have had more time to just chat with her for a longer. Would definitely book again if back in Hilo.
