Denise's place was absolutely wonderful! Very private feeling, view of the ocean and the "jungle" behind the house. We didn't hear the downstairs neighbors at all. Sometimes we heard the road and the airport but mostly, the ambient sounds of wind, waves, birds, and coqui frogs were dominant.
The location was great; just minutes from downtown Hilo with lots of places to explore. What a treat to spend our time at Denise's living mostly outdoors in the screened in porches. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. Wifi worked great.
We hope to be back sometime in the not-so-distant future. :)
