Anthony and Larissa were very kind and welcoming. The space was comfortable and well equipped. You are staying in the basement of the host’s home so you will probably hear them moving around upstairs and doing work in the yard. If you’re looking to stay near downtown Hilo this is a great location. We weren’t very impressed by Hilo but it was a little slow while we were there. There are roosters in the neighborhood that may start making noise as early as 4am. This is common in Hawaii but you may want to bring ear plugs. If you are a large person you may be uncomfortable here as the ceilings are a bit low. Overall we had a comfortable stay here and it is a good value.
