I was staying at Gina and Jim's for 10 nights, primarily for work in Hilo. Their house is about 20 mins from Hilo under good traffic conditions, but traffic to Hawaii Paradise Park can be slow during rush hours. The room was clean and comfortable, with a desk suitable for computer work. The kitchen, washing machine and dryer are available for guests, and are in good condition. Gina and Jim are very friendly hosts with many fascinating stories to tell.
