Went to Hilo for business and the monarch festival. Ginger's home is close to Hilo, bustling Pahoa Village, and a great base to explore the South-East side of the island. It is in fact one of the best AirBnbs I ever stayed in Hawaii and around the world. It was amazing to wake up in a tropical jungle and hear the birds chirping.
Ginger is such a warm, kind and generous host, with the true Aloha spirit. She has the Master bedroom for guests and it was sparklingly clean. Super fast in replying to messages and made me feel home the minute we met. The room is spacious with a comfy bed, sofa, a big bathroom and a walk-in closet. The Downstairs kitchen and picnic tables are a plus. I did not use it much but it was so nice to have your own dining area and a full-size fridge. I also enjoyed the Maui tea, tropical fruits, sesame oil, chocolate treats, and the several books on Hawaii culture and herbs. Just returned to CA but already miss the beautiful island and Ginger's paradise. Will definitely return!
