Kristie and George's art house is inspiring and beautiful. The space is large, airy, and bright, and decorated with much of Kristie's paintings. It left us inspired to refresh and decorate our home when we get back! It is a very, very comfortable and homey space. It feels very traditional, and keeps the spirit of the old wooden Hilo houses, but in a modern, updated way. It is an amazing space for families- my hawaii-born mom loved all of the little luxuries of the kitchen and toto toilet, but it wasn't so upscale to make her feel uncomfortable. Kitchen is great for anyone who loves to cool- outfitted with everything you'd need. Kristie and her family live right below, and were awesome hosts who greeted us in person. We slept with the windows open every night, and the breeze and temperature were great. There were a lot of coqui frogs, which are unavoidable in the area, but it was easy to fall asleep and they faded into the night. We would definitely stay here again!
