This was a really delightful stay. The place is located in a neighborhood a few miles from Pahoa and Hilo so it was away from city noise, lights and traffic. All we could hear at night were the coqui frogs and the birds. Our thoughtful host provides earplugs and a white noise machine to block that out, if needed. (We enjoyed the sounds of nature.) Robert, our host, gave us really good, detailed information about the surrounding area, places to go and local conditions. We would stay here again if we were to return to the big island.
