Absolutely amazing experience to stay with Cynthia. Only stayed at her place for one night at the end of a bicycle tour around the island, but she made me feel right at home. House is in a quiet Hilo neighborhood, felt like a local walking the streets at night, but it is close enough to everywhere you need to be in town. Got some much needed rest in a comfy bed after camping for the previous week, and it was great to wake up and eat a home-cooked meal and chat with all of the other lodgers from all over the world. Couldn't have asked for more!
