Nice, quiet location. The guest suite was clean and had everything I needed to make my stay smooth and enjoyable. This host family generously allows guests to use the laundry machines, which are located on a covered carport. That was a lifesaver for me! Just be aware that they ask you to only do laundry during daylight hours, since their home runs off of solar power, and that since these are the family's personal appliances, you may need to respectfully wait your turn. I especially loved the private veranda--Great place to drink coffee and plan my day! If I ever return to the Hilo side, I would happily stay here again!
