axel’s place was a quaint little hideaway in Hilo. the private waterfall and swimming hole was bigger than we thought and was great to take a dip in. the house itself has everything we needed. the bathroom is a bit small, but it was
fine for the two of us. the road in is pretty intimidating in a small sedan like we had, especially with the torrential rain, but we made it ok. just drive carefully. the house is about 20 minutes from downtown hilo where there’s restaurants and things to do. we stopped at a few waterfalls while we were there and took a trip up to waipio valley. we would definitely stay there again!
