The place is as described. Close to the airport (ca. 5 min) and to Hilo (ca. 10 min). Very clean. Very calm area, close to the beach. Little kitchen on large balcony, very convenient. There was coffee, filtered water and home grown eggs.
Malia and Steeve are great hosts:
- I arrived later than expected, so Malia and Steve set up everything so that I could easily check-in in their absence.
- I wanted to go on a lava tour. Malia really helped me organizing this, finding the right guide etc, while I was visiting town.
- I decided to stay one more night, Malia and Steve accepted to extend my stay, but since the apartment was booked, they had me stay in their part of the house, in a guest room they have there.
If you're a light sleeper though, you might want to bring earplugs, as the frogs around can be quite loud. Didn't bother me.
Overall great experience. Highly recommended.
Thank you again for everything!
