After looking at several lodging options for our 3 nights in the Hilo area, we settled with Morris & Yuka's guesthouse for 4 reasons: affordability for our family of 4, plenty of space to spread out in the guesthouse, overall privacy, and marginally closer to Volcanoes National Park. The location provided convenient access to restaurants in Pahoa and the Foodland grocery store in Kea'au. We wanted to cook some fresh fish (notified Morris & Yuka before our arrival) and extra outdoor cooking options were provided for our convenience!

Complimentary ear plugs were provided in the upstairs restroom for light sleepers who get disturbed by the coqui frogs at night, but our family personally had no problems with the sounds of nature. We even got a special homemade volcano DVD to watch and bring home with us. Morris & Yuka were amazing hosts and provided a wonderful 1st time Airbnb experience. I booked with them when they had no Airbnb reviews so I was taking a "chance," but with such a positive overall response from the Airbnb community, it should be a no brainer decision to stay with Morris & Yuka.
