I'm in search of an excuse to return to Hilo just to enjoy the hospitality and accommodations of this perfect Airbnb. Located close to downtown (so you can enjoy the restaurants and shops), yet you are surrounded by Hawaiian nature -- a waterfall, lizards, birds, frogs and so much green. The room itself is spacious and the decor minimal and relaxing. Cody and Nicole provide a light yet filling breakfast. We are early risers and found the coffee ready when we went in search of our first cup! Even though it was July, we never turned on the A/C. With the many windows, the breeze and the rain, we were comfortable. If you are a light sleeper, be ready to be serenaded by a cacophony of frogs! I thought they might keep me awake, but instead found them oddly soothing! You can't do wrong staying here.
