Staying at Dana's AirBnB has made an excellent trip even better. Communication with Dana prior to and during our stay has been excellent. The place is located just a short drive away from downtown in a very quiet, safe, and well-manicured neighborhood (being from Los Angeles, it felt like the Beverly Hill of Hilo). The place feels very cozy with nice touches all around. It is extremely well equipped with anything one might need for a short or a longer stay. But what really seals the deal is the access to the very private backyard: it includes an outdoor kitchen with a sink, a BBQ, a jacuzzi, and three sitting areas to choose from ... perfect to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. We love the place so much we tried to extend our stay, but unfortunately, the place was booked. But it will definitely be on the top of our list next time we visit the big island.
Moreover, Dana and Greg are great hosts, very friendly, and fun to talk to and share information about the island.
