We really enjoyed staying at Kaleo's place in Hilo! The house was nicely laid out - the kitchen was large, functional and well-stocked, the AC in the bedrooms worked really well, the laundry room was much appreciated after all our excursions - and the house just had a sense of peace to it. This was despite the fact that we had the unfortunate luck of having road construction directly outside of the house during our stay (which obviously was not in the owner's control). It was centrally located in Hilo - it is near Banyan drive.
And the back deck is incredible! We enjoyed eating out on the deck and the boys enjoyed chasing the geckos. The deck overlooks the backyard and the adjacent park which leads to Reed's Bay - and the view is worth every penny for this rental! We even saw nenes in the park! Thank you, Kaleo, for making your place available to us!
