This was definitely an experience of being in a tropical rainforest. Hilo is known for its rain and being surrounded by trees and foliage the coqui frogs surrounded the bungalow. The earplugs provided by Laura is a must when going to sleep.
We had some issues with phone connections even though WiFi is available. I notice in Hawaii if you are under a ‘tin’ roof it is difficult to get a good connection. While in the restaurant at the Hilo airport, I had to walk outside across the street into the car rental parking lot to be able to send a text with pictures. Same as with the Bungalow, we had to go outside. Regular texts with no attachments were sent quickly.
Although conveniently located, sometimes it was difficult to access or exit due to the Main Street traffic and the direction you were coming or going.
I consider Laura a super host as she gave us a tour of the bungalow and provided many tips in a well organized binder for places to see and dine. She responded very quickly to any questions and truly had the Aloha Spirit! I loved her decor and the workable kitchen area.
