Maggie’s home is a great spot to stay if you are traveling to the Big Island. The studio is so new and well-renovated, and the furnishing is all sleek. The location is very close to downtown Hilo, and I was able to take advantage of much that town and beyond had to offer (with a car).
If there is any downside to the unit, it’s that the walls are paper-thin. As others have noted, it’s easy to hear what goes on above you. I also did not want to pay for AC (note: the cost is $25/night) so I kept the windows open and ran the overhead fan. I was comfortable with the outside noise, but picky travelers might not be.
All told, I had a very good experience here. There were times I asked questions (non-urgent) and didn’t get the most thorough or timely responses, but that in no way hurt my experience. Maggie is a good host and I recommend this spot to any easy-going, humidity-comfortable guest!
