Lumin’s home was in the back country of Hilo, I would 100% recommend renting a car. The place is great if you are just looking for a place to sleep then go out and do activities during the day. Lumin is very quiet, you can hear the occasional movement inside their house but nothing to concern about. My only concern was the main door to the suite didn’t have a lock. The place was very clean and you can tell it was recently renovated.
