Claudia's home is beautifully decorated with furniture and art mostly from Asia . Our room and bathroom were spacious. At breakfast Claudia went through the trouble of cooking for us delicious vegetarian food . She is very sociable and has many stories! The house has an amazing garden and natural pond. She has umbrellas, beach towels , etc . Distances in Hilo are short so we were a short drive from Pineapple restaurant + Two Ladies in the Kitchen famous Mochi .
