I'm really not one to leave bad reviews, but our experience in Hilo was incredibly disappointing. This was the AirBnB stay I was most looking forward to for our honeymoon and I felt cheated.
This unit has zero insulation, it feels like sheet metal and plywood, and it protects against sound like tissue paper. This unit is along a major road, and every night we were woken every few hours by cars or the people living on the street outside. The door to the courtyard is glass, with no blinds or curtain, and at the right angle the main house has a direct view into the bedroom. The outdoor shower (and only shower) has a wide gaps around it... we quickly had to get used to feeling like we had very little privacy during our stay. Our check-in experience was frustrating, we received no communication and had to rely on fellow customers directing Megan to us on the street in front of the unit. A perk of staying here is receiving coffee in the morning. However, we were shockingly given a bottle of EXPIRED milk in the morning... the next day the coffee strainer we were given was DISGUSTING. It genuinely looked like someone had tried to make soup in it and hadn't bothered to clean it. I have pictures... I was astounded Megan felt that was appropriate to give to a paying customer.
While we stayed here, we spoke to
other people staying with Megan and several mentioned they were family. Something to keep in mind when reading positive reviews... I would love to forget this experience ever happened, but since we stayed here during our honeymoon, this will forever be a part of our story... All we can do now is hope this gets funny with time.
