Our stay with Patricia was beyond our expectations! There is much good to be said but here are the highlights: it is a very short walk to downtown Hilo, the room is spacious and comfortable, you have all of the amenities you need, the neighborhood is quiet and surrounded by lush plants. but most of all, Patricia goes out of her way to make you feel at home with a beautiful fresh breakfast, her overall kind and friendly demeanor and very helpful recommendations as a long-time local. She was also great about giving us privacy in her shared home. Definitely recommend this place!
