This is for a one-night stay. My plans the next day was to start from Hilo and reach my intended destination at an off-grid AirBnB in Mountain View for a couple-nights and my final destination in Volcano at another AirBnB location for three-nights to get away and enjoy the peaceful pace of the country. I landed in Hilo at about 7 PM. Got the rental car when it started to rain. After navigating through the sparse highway of Hilo in the dark of night, I arrive at Mike’s & Jasmine’s AirBnB home as the rain poured on heavily. I quickly made why through the indoor porch with my luggage and notified via text and rang the doorbell that I had arrived. I was greeted by Jasmine with a warm welcome. I was impressed the indoor architecture and decor of the living room, which was from a past era with some Halloween decorations. Jasmine mentioned that architecture was fusion of Western and Japanese architecture. It’s very unique and the home is well taken-care of, preserving the historical significance and original design. Jasmine provided an overview of the home’s amenities and it was perfect for my needs. I liked the old-style keys that could be locked from the inside and outside. My room was more than adequate with a comfortable queen size bed and blinds. As an IT professional, the wi-fi speeds were fast for me to remote connect to my office computer and surf the Internet and watch streaming video. The coqui frogs were no bother as they lulled me to sleep. Jasmine offered ear-plugs if the noise was unbearable but I found coqui frogs soothing. The next day while I drove out, I realized that there is beautiful beach close by that is worth visiting. I definitely will return on my next trip to Hilo and would recommend Mike’s & Jasmine’s home.
Cheers!
