Kristie’s place was even better than we had anticipated — it was impeccably clean, nicely furnished, with incredible views of Hilo Bay, and there was plenty of room for our family of three. As a host, Kristie was responsive — for example, when we couldn’t find kitchen towels, she immediately bought a pair for our use. We had a lovely week at her place and look forward to staying there again should we return to Hilo!
