To summarize: This is THE BEST airbnb experience I ever had. What hosts Sylvia and Karen provide for guest can be a model for all airbnbs!
Here is why you'd want to stay here, or even make it a necessary stop for your Hawaii Big Island trip.
*really Zen and beautiful garden with flowers and fruit trees everywhere, you can see host put heart into maintaining them.
*Extremely spacious. I thought I only had a room, but when arrived, I had a whole area outside of the room with nice sofa and table, where you can chill, eat, and do some remote work.
*Comfort for sleeping
I stayed on island for two weeks, in places with equal pricing. This is the quietest and most comfortable stay. The coqui frog sound on the island can be very loud and noisy in the night. But here I didn't hear any. Nor any car sound.
*No insects in the room at all.
I was surprised with this, as the room is surrounded by nature. But there weren't any insects or geckos inside. No mosquitos neither so you'll have good sleep.
*Good location
Locate on the hill in a good neighborhood. You can view the ocean and the city from their spot. It also has the best sunset view. Convenient to city center, and has nice super market just two blocks away.
*Best hosts!
Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Sylvia made sure that I am feeling comfortable, gave me the best parking spot, towels for both shower and beach, handed me some delicious Hawaii fruits (papaya, mango, bananas etc. ) that they grow on their own.
Sylvia also offered some tasty food and dessert she made, when I was tired after snorkeling.
Karen and Sylvia are like good friends that you want to hang out around. They shared their fun experience from traveling and hosting, and you can really relax into their space and enjoy a new level airbnb experience.
Anyway, This place is a must for your Big Island trip!
