Me and my friend stayed at Cheriess place for two nights. I rent a ton of airbnbs and run my own as well.
I will say that her place was significantly cheaper than other rental options and is basically a private unit with access to a kitchen, common area and outdoor seating. The location is very close to everything downtown. My friend and I didn’t feel very safe walking at night. I think this is more reflective of Hilo than the place itself though.
Few things…
I found it odd that the bathroom had no door, it made it weird to shower with my friend also in the room. We also found the sheets to be uncomfortable, I never usually complain about this sort of thing, but in this case it did make for a poorer sleep.
Lastly, we had an issue with pests that was “irritating”, I did not feel like the host properly dealt with this and made me more inclined to let potential bookers know.
Overall the accomondation was cheap, has everthing you need, but I can’t say we liked it much. Would potentially stay here again if the price was right.
