This is an ideal place to stay in Hilo. Instructions for entry were sent well in advance and were easy to follow. It is a decent size with a separate bedroom and kitchen. All spaces were clean. Good towels. Short walk into town and not far from restaurants and the bus station. Good quality coffee, parking, washing machine and dryer all included. The owner was really responsive. She also offers help if needed but if, not left us to ourselves so it felt really private. Safe and secure behind their house.
The place is quite noisy with roosters, frogs, wind and rain. Though these are partly seasonal, it is also because there are lots of open vents with no glass. Earplugs were provided if required. The toilet space was also a bit dark. A few ants, but otherwise no issues with wildlife inside. There is also a bit of mould here and there - shower curtain, mattress - though it is understood that might be difficult to prevent in a cabin-style property in the Hawaii climate.
