Amazing location, sizeable cottage, very welcoming staff.
Be warned of the lack of air conditioning and lack of privacy on the property.
There are 3 other homes on a fairly small yard, most of which are several feet away from one another and all have very thin walls.
In addition, there were no curtains nor drapes on windows in the living room, kitchen, and second bedroom, making it a bit uncomfortable to walk around freely. Assuming this last piece will be fixed, but overall, just be sure you’re ok with more off a commune than BnB or cottage vine.
If privacy isn’t overly important to you in your stay, you really can’t beat the location and size of the spot for downtown Hilo.
