I can't say enough nice things about our stay at Merlinda's place. She was the most gracious host. She greeted us with Aloha and was easy to reach our entire stay. Her place is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possible need for your stay. It was also very clean and comfortable and only a short drive to Hilo. The setting is is an enchanting jungle farm. Merlinda shared with us some of her amazing fruits and veggies she had grown there. We had a lovely experience and would stay with Melinda again given the chance. Best airbnb experience yet!
