Maria and Steve's house is in very good location. It's only a few blocks away from the beach, and not too far from Hilo downtown. We got a spacious and separate living space. Although the room is not new, it's clean. They have a nice balcony where you can have a cup of coffee and enjoy the (partial) ocean view.
Maria is a very nice host. She gave us many good recommendations on Hilo beaches and restaurants. It was a pleasant stay with them.
