My husband and I stayed at Richard's studio for our babymoon on the Big Island. The studio was spacious with a very comfortable bed and everything we needed to cook simple meals. A big plus for us was the washer/dryer, which allowed us to pack light. We really enjoyed waking up to the birds chirping and their dog sitting on the porch (he was so well behaved and sweet). We were out and about exploring the island so we didn't get to spend much time with Richard and his wife, but they were very nice and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend their studio and the town of Hawi for anyone's stay on the Big Island.
