Liz's Hawaiian Jungle Hideout was exactly as described--a very well-kept, spacious house in the middle of the rain forest, complete with wild chickens roaming around. It's the perfect place for those who want to get off the beaten path. Falling asleep to the sounds of crickets and other wildlife chirping and waking up to the sound of a sudden but quickly passing morning rain each morning was a pleasant change from life in the city for me.
Communication was very good. Even though we never met her in person, prior to our visit, Liz provided lots of useful information that we took advantage of during our three days in Hilo.
I highly recommend the Hawaiian Jungle Hideout to anyone visiting Hilo who doesn't want to stay in a generic, overpriced hotel. Thank you, Liz, for sharing your house with us!
