Ludyme is a fantastic host. I enjoyed the relaxed, comfortable vibe of her home. I was able to work from my computer at the dining table, cook in the kitchen, and hang out in common areas without feeling like I was intruding or n someone else's space. The room had ample space, and the bed was comfortable. The entire house well kept/clean. The location is an easy drive to Pahoa (7 minutes) or Hilo (15-20 minutes). My only regret is that we didn't get to play music together!
