Our hosts greeted us upon arrival, and they even offered to meet us somewhere if we had any trouble finding the place - we didn't.

We had a tour of the house which was lovely. The dinner/breakfast table was set, with a variety of goodies here and there. The house was well stocked with what you need for a great holiday - items to borrow and spices to cook with. And of course information/suggestions on what to do in the area. Beds were comfortable and the house clean.

I had fallen ill during our stay - Morris and Yuka suggested the local Urgent Care service, which was great. The staff at the the medical office were warm and very helpful despite me being from overseas.

There was some traffic noise, which you are advised of before booking. I am a very light sleeper but had no problem with ear plugs. My buddy had no issues with the noise.

The location was good - not far from Hilo, Volcano and sights at the south east tip.

We would stay again - we had 10 days on the island overall, still more to do.

Aloha, Tina and Mary
