When planning my first trip to the Big Island, I decided to use airBnB for the first time. I found Yuri's listing in Hilo. Initially, I was impressed with the photos - the cleanliness and comfortable atmosphere portrayed. One of my favorite aspects, after reading the description, was how she catered to women travelers. This was an added comfort for me, as well as, traveling with girlfriends. Upon our arrival (three ladies), Yuri welcomed us and gave us the brief tour of our room (with 3 beds). The photos did not disappoint. Though the week we stayed was a full house, it never felt crowded. Yuri's home and hospitality has definitely set the standard for when I book my next trip.
