overall a pleasant experience. I really appreciated them sharing some of their homegrown fruit. this room is right next to the kitchen do you can hear everything. I didn't have a problem with this but it's good to know. bathroom is shared with the grandmother. address is difficult to find in the dark so definitely arrive before sunset. I really liked the cool plants they grew around the property. no temperature control in room so be sure to choose a preferred season/weather. lots of good travel tips from the family. it's ~20min drive outside of Hilo. must have a car.
