Six of us stayed at Steve's beautiful house, and it was a great experience! Four of us were working during the day, and Steve was super gracious - he actually upgraded the speed of his internet to make sure it would be fast enough for remote workers to stay! It was fast enough for all 4 of us to be attending meetings, and there were plenty of desks for separated working spaces. Steve was also really accommodating about our really late flight times, and let us check out late.
Steve was super communicative - previous guests mentioned that the security gate had issues, and ahead of our arrival, Steve made sure we knew what was going on with the gate, and then updated us when it had been fixed.
As for the house itself, it's super clean and spacious, with tons of space to lounge around. The beds are all super comfy, and the water gets very hot with good pressure. The house is very comfortable temperature wise ( and one of the members of our group is super sensitive to heat ), especially since Steve also provides extra fans in the common spaces. Location wise, It is a bit further from downtown Hilo, but we really appreciated that this made it a lot quicker for us to get to Volcano National Park for a late night lava viewing hike, and also gave us a bit more insulation from the crowds ( last time I was in Hilo we stayed very close to a beach, so there could be a lot of cars at times ). The drive to town is only about 15 minutes, so very quick to go back and forth!
Overall, we all loved our stay at Steve's place (I wish we could have stayed longer!). Would definitely highly recommend, and I especially felt like Steve was an excellent example of a host going above and beyond!
