My partner and I stayed at the Bamboo Bungalow for a short weekend trip. We had to drive over from Kona to Hilo after work, so we checked in later in the evening and notified the host. Self check-in with the lockbox made it very convenient for us when we arrived. Cheriess was easy to communicate with over the Airbnb app messenger, she responded very quickly, within 30 minutes after I sent her a message. The Bungalow is detached and separate from main house on property with private entry and private bathroom. We really enjoyed the privacy and liked that the parking lot was right outside our front door. It made it easy to move bags back and forth from the car. The A/C worked well and made the humid days and nights more comfortable. There was coqui frogs at night, but we are used to that and didn't mind. The main room is spacious and doesn't feel cramped at all. The bed was clean with lots of pillows and comfortable for my partner and I. The full-size fridge, microwave, and coffee machine were great! Easy to heat up simple foods or leftovers and more than enough space in the fridge to hold cold drinks and water from the provided water pitcher. The shower is a corner stall with a curtain and there was shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case we forgot or didn't bring any. It took a little while for the water to get hot, but we didn't mind. The bath towels and beach towels provided were very useful. The Bamboo Bungalow was just right for what we needed for the weekend and we would love to stay again next time we come to Hilo!
