Easily the best Airbnb experience I've ever had from years of travelling! Everything you can dream of from a tropical forest bungalow stay: fresh jungle air through the open screen windows, lush tropical plants surrounding the house, birds/frogs/insects chirping in the night (I actually found them relaxing to fall asleep with). A very unique stay and a real gem in the Hilo area. My hosts Laura and Mike are extremely experienced in providing all the amenities and offering many local tips. They kept close contact with me prior to the trip and spent time figuring our the confusing travel restrictions, which really helped me making the trip happen. They even left me a birthday gift of a nice lava face mask and a plate of fruits (pretty sure fell from the trees around the house), which are very much appreciated. The location is right off the highway, so very easy to get into Hilo downtown (~10min by car) and is a perfect base to explore other southern (Volcano NP) and northern (seaside valleys) areas. In summary, this is a place that you don't want to miss if you are visiting the Big Island!
