Cindy and Maria's place is lovely. We enjoyed our stay :).
THE PLACE: Maria is an artist and her place is decorated with her paintings. Their garden/backyard is amazing. The place is a duplex and is connected by a pathway. Maria lives in the other unit.
The only con, there are no curtains in the bathroom and not enough curtains in the living room. It can be really unnerving since you are new to the place.
HOSPITALITY: They had left fresh fruits for us, which was really nice. We are used to European Airbnb hospitality where the hosts always left coffee and fresh bread and other breakfast stuff for us. Maria was the only host in our three spots in Hawaii that kept anything for breakfast for us.
She was extremely responsive. We were not able to locate the sugar in the morning and when I asked Maria where she kept the sugar, she gave me a cup of sugar from her place. Also, she had a rice cooker that had been gifted to her by one of her other guests.
LOCATION: It's a little bit in the boonies but it wasn't a big deal. You need a vehicle in Big Island anyway since everything is so far away.
