Overall we highly recommend this place. The hosts could not be more hospitable, providing a gift bag, responsiveness and a list of excellent suggestions for local attractions and restaurants. The house had a wonderful layout and was very comfortable (particularly the bedding). The kitchen was well stocked. The location was conveniently situated between Hilo and Volcano National Park. The only reason we gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is due to significant noise from the roosters and dogs in the neighborhood that disrupted our sleep even with the generously provided earplugs. The general surroundings of the neighborhood were less than desirable. Despite this we would recommend overall since the pros definitely outweigh the cons and overall it is an excellent value for the cost.
