We have been traveling the big island for about 1.5 weeks and this has been our favorite Airbnb so far! The location is great with downtown Hilo being about a 20 minute walk away, but we opted to drive each time.
The neighborhood felt super safe and the scenery is AMAZING. The backyard almost has an Italian villa feel, and backs up to a stream and lush landscape. The outdoor bathroom feels like an indoor one with a heated shower and walls around the shower and toilet.
Wifi was strong enough for two people working remotely, although we did try to stream a show later at night and ended up using our phone since the TV was buffering a lot. Otherwise, wifi was seamless.
Hannah and Tanner, our hosts, were so kind and generous. They gave us recommendations about where to go in town, let us crack open a cacao pod from their tree, and had great and fast communication. They were even flexible with our check-out time due to our work schedule.
They replaced common area trash almost daily and had extra folded towels and toilet paper readily available if you needed some. The laundry room is free (we definitely used it!) and has a little kitchenette area with utensils, a cutting board, and a toaster oven. Within our room there was a medium-ish fridge and a coffee pot.
If I ever return to Hilo, I am definitely checking this place first to see if it is available! Definitely book, it is a GREAT deal with great hosts!
