Juliette was a wonderful host. We stayed at her lovely house for over three weeks and felt like we were leaving our own home when our stay ended. The house is a bit older but is very spacious and homely. It is in a fantastic location, with various stores close by and not a long drive to the ocean. There definitely is hot water in the shower, as mentioned in other reviews, it’s just a little tricky but with the right instructions, we had no problem having a hot shower every day. Juliette was very accommodating and quickly responded to all our inquiries. Overall, just a wonderful place to stay if you’re exploring Hilo and the rest of your island. Definitely would recommend for a longer stay, it’s a very comfortable place.
