Donna is a super nice host. She is considerate of little details such as providing Clorox wipes, earplugs, water in the fridge…and delicious fruit and coffee in the morning. If you want to experience what it’s like to live like a local in a Hawaiian neighborhood, this is it – noise from frogs, chickens, barking dogs, and all…plus views of the neighbor’s junk cars. Bathroom is shared but it is clean and toiletries/towel provided. Her house is in the heart of town…I felt safe and you can easily walk to Longs Drugs, Café 100, Hilo Burger Co. and Burger King.
