The place is just as adorable as advertised. Be warned that it may not all be as tranquil as expected given the ongoing construction. The loud noises went on all day in front of our unit (until 7pm) and it really put a damper on our mood as we came to Big Island to escape city life and the noise that comes with it. The host was late to check us in and we thought we had made a mistake by staying there but she seemed nice and attentive throughout the rest of our stay. It is situated in a great part of Hilo which is close to farmer's markets, shops, and the bay views.
