Great location for Hilo, you can get anywhere very quickly (including the airport). The orange house is easy to spot too. We enjoyed the resident Geckos that did their best to keep the bug population under control. The A/C's worked well but seemed to be a little moldy. Beds were reasonably comfortable and the sheets and towels were all clean. One of the bathrooms is slightly off of the main house (you don't have to exit the house, just down some stairs and it's off of the car port. That bathroom and laundry area is a little "open air" but it worked--made things feel a bit more adventurous for the ladies in our group. The A/C's and ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. We would recommend this host and the home.
