Jane was an amazing and warm host and greeted us at the door like an old friend! We are pretty shy introverts, but Jane was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The cozy studio will have everything you will need and we were touched by the small details Jane put in the studio. She even baked a small banana bread for us which we enjoyed thoroughly at the black sand beach! I would recommend staying with Jane if you are in Hilo and her place would be excellent as it is close to main attractions like the volcano and downtown.
