We stayed at several BNBs on the island during our trip (we went counter-clockwise around the island,) and this is one of our favorites! Although small, the unit was well-planned so it didn't feel uncomfortable. Karla really thought of everything to provide guests and all of the touches are really nice. The mattress was comfortable, there was a tiny kitchen space to prepare simple breakfast/ coffee, (she left us yummy potato chips for a snack too,) and the shower was AHHMAZING! Karla provided a guest guidebook with recommendations for the area and a little sign-in book. I loved reading through it all and we walked to a nearby park one morning that Karla recommended in her guestbook. We ended up meeting the neighbors, who were also extremely nice and helpful to talk to. Highly recommend staying at Karla's place--beautiful, quiet neighborhood in a beautiful, scenic drive 12 miles north of Hilo!
