The studio is very small and it does not have a functional kitchen. I stayed with my 18 year old daughter> Even though there is a bed and a sofa bed, once you open the sofa bed there is no room to walk around the beds. We opted for sleeping together. We did not cook. I found it uncomfortable to wash my cooking utinsils and food in the tiny bathroom sink. Amy Pennington is the caretaker and she is a licensed massage therapist. She was very helpful and the day I flew back I had a full massage on site "al fresco" with the view of the Hilo Bay. Good stay for 3 nights for 2 people. You do need a car to get around. Downtown Hilo is approvimately 7 miles from the place. Thank You Amy for your hospitality and availability.
