We enjoyed our stay at Shareef's guesthouse. The house was exactly as described . It was very clean , we liked the updated paint colors ,clean bathtub/shower.The bed was very comfortable .Beautiful grounds /garden. The full kitchen was great as we were able to cook meals while enjoying our workation. The WiFI was really good.If you are a light sleeper like me, be prepared for the singing frogs (they sing all night) ,got used to it after a couple of days.The jungle noises, coupled with the roosters and the neighbors dogs makes it an unique and fun experience.The kitchen and bath needs to be updated and there was a musty smell from the kitchen cabinets. The house gets hotter later in the day,but if you open the windows there is a good breeze and there are plenty of fans in the house.The location was perfect ,it was 50 minutes drive each to Hilo and volcanoes National Park. You can get fresh fruits and vegetables from the nearby sell 4 less produce on side of 130 next to paradise Dr.The prices were similar to hilo farmers market. Shareef was a great host. He checked with us if we need anything and also respected our privacy. When we let him know that the air mattress was leaking, he was prompt to remove it ,set the futon as a bed and also brought in a sofa for us to sit which was very thoughtful. The gate made us feel safe. You need to remove all the bedsheets, towels in the washer ,wash the dishes before check out at 9 am. so plan accordingly.Overall a very great experience.
