Katrina's home is so cute and loved that it was extremely clean. there's also a washer and a dryer that you can use. I felt very comfortable at this place. She provided 2 bottles of water and other basic amenities. totally worth the price. just a word of caution and as everyone has mentioned in the reviews, it has a tin roof. so if it rains which is usually the case here in Hilo and if you are a light sleeper, then you might be disturbed by it. although the host does provide with ear plugs.
