You will be very comfortable in this modest home. We easily checked in, found everything, and communicated easily w/ the host. Home is well-maintained, conveniently located, beds comfy and showers hot. Highly recommend!
Tip: Don't miss the Farmers Market in Hilo. Being from Michigan, we had no idea what some of the fruits and vegetables even were, but the wide array and vibrant colors were amazing! Also, nearby Honomu has some really cool 'off-the-beaten-path' shops & a bakery (Mr. Ed's) that has more flavors of homade jams, jellies & fruit butters than you can imagine. And the homemade Lilikoi syrup for the shave ice (they have that, too) is made from the fresh juice and will delight your taste buds! (Lilikoi is the native term for passion fruit.)
