Shannon's place was comfortable and convenient. It's about 10 minutes from downtown Hilo and located in a fairly quiet residential area. The driveway is tucked between some bushes but if you watch for the church across the street it's easy to spot!
Shannon is a great host and provided us some excellent advice for dining and hiking. She loaned us some really good guidebooks with advice on trails and maps. She also has a really sweet family and a well behaved dog.
We would definitely stay at Shannon's place again.
