Hope this review helps other travelers - remember to read Airbnb descriptions and reviews carefully, even if you’re a seasoned user!
Delbert was a good host and overall the place was as described, but I booked this place and didn’t pay attention to the details.
Didn’t realize it was as small as the photo shows, it’s literally a room with an attached bathroom that you are staying in for the night.
We arrived late at night and had trouble finding the place via Google Maps. Finally found it, but the parking lot outside and the walk to the apartment inside the complex felt unsafe at that time of night. You can hear people out in the parking lot (he’s provided earplugs if you’re a light sleeper) and the walls are thin so you can hear the neighbors too.
The location is close to everything in Hilo by day and the room itself was clean. Again, it was a good budget stay as long as you (unlike me) know exactly what you’re getting into!
