We found Jane's studio to be super clean, warm, welcoming and filled with natural sunlight. Being a global traveler herself, she has designed her studio with many thoughtful details such as tourist activity information/maps/cultural-history books about Hawaii, fresh flowers from her garden and her delicious banana bread to name a few.
The reason for our stay was to get my daughter settled into her university dorm during the pandemic (wish we could have stayed here during quarantine). Jane's home is filled with love and care in a beautiful neighborhood overlooking Hilo and no more than 8 minutes to the university as well as Prince Kuhio shopping area (includes Safeway, Target, Wal-Mart, TJ Maxx, KFC, Panda Express and more). Jane is the epitome of a perfect host allowing privacy as well as great conversation. Having access to her laundry area and an equipped kitchenette allowed me to cook meals too. This was our first airbnb experience and if I could give Jane and her awesome cozy studio 10 stars I would. Jane provided a wonderful and safe "second home away from home" (10 day stay) for my daughter and I.
