We loved staying in Hilo! Megan was a fantastic host instantly making us feel welcome not with a handshake but with a big hug. She gave us great suggestions on where we can eat nearby (always a top priority, haha) and was always interested in what our plans were for the day. It was nice to hear her feedback and suggestions.

When we decided to go to Mauna Kea she kindly let us borrow extra blankets, just in case it was really cold up there. The location is great, very easy to get around. Pineapples restaurant across the street was pretty good. The Conscious Culture Café about 5 minute walk had the BEST chicken sausage I've ever had in my life. There was also a French place that had crepes. Really good.

Personally I love wet weather so Hilo was great. Days tend to be overcast. Some light rain. The property had loose rocks on the pathways so it was great at preventing you from dragging in mud. Definitely found the mosquito net over the bed useful. No issues with plumbing, shower, sink, etc. There were other visitors on the property but it was never an issue with noise. We'd fall asleep to the sound of the tropical frogs right outside. =)

Our time in Hilo was short and we'd love to go back. When we do, we will look up Megan again!
