The room was clean and cool with cross breezes and ceiling fan, and the beds were very comfortable. Sound may travel from other rooms, though most guests were quiet. Be prepared for the songs of frogs in the evening (somewhat relaxing), neighborhood dogs (a bit more irritating), and crowing roosters (even before dawn). Earplugs might be a good idea overall. There are stairs to the main floor of the house, so pack lighter than me (plus no wheeling of luggage on the nice floors). The hosts were welcoming, but gave privacy too. Nice touch of fresh pastries in the morning. Good value while visiting Hilo.
