The Nene street home was spacious, in a safe neighbourhood and the location was good, approximately a 10 minute drive from everything you need in Hilo. Maria replied to our messages very quickly prior to our stay and the check-in was smooth. The grounds are nice and green and note that as mentioned, they do have two dogs and two baby goats (very cute). Also, prepare to be awoken by 6am roster calls so sleeping in might be harder during your stay here. Although the furniture was outdated, we got what we expected and were comfortable.
