The place was as described. It was easy to find and close to downtown Hilo. Danielle had ample fans ready for those who need them. It definitely felt like a beach cottage in that it seemed a little humid/musty inside and kinda just had that moist cottage feel. It didn’t feel like the most clean place but it was sufficient. The beds were not the most comfortable, they just felt kinda worn and sunk in, definitely woke up with my back hurting. The layout was great in offering dedicated sleeping spaces and space to hang out and eat. The kitchen was big and seemed to have everything you would need for meals in. The bathroom was not very big but had nice HOT water! It would’ve been nice to have a dryer because it was pretty rainy while we were there so hang drying in the amount of time we had still wasn’t quite enough to get our things dry, but it all worked out ok. Also it was LOUD. The first night there were birds that made noise non stop all night until the fireworks went off at 4am. The birds weren’t as bad the the remaining nights and Danielle does have earplugs available for those who made need them. I don’t know if the birds are an always occurrence or if it’s other island sounds. Overall we had a good stay and the place was as described with good proximity to things to do.
