Michael is a great host and check-in was easy. His place isn’t easy to find (it’s next to Starbucks but it’s an unpaved road) but we got the hang of it quickly. His place is charming and quaint and the internet speed and shower amenities are great. It feels very much like you’re in nature while being in the middle of Hilo. However, nature also comes with very loud birds (or insects?) chirping all throughout the morning and night. I had a tough time sleeping because of the noise!
