Cody and his partner were extremely nice and friendly. They gave us good advice regarding nearby beaches and good restaurants. Thus we had a very pleasant evening Christmas meal at Hilo Bay restaurant. their Airbnb is nestled in lush greenery with a lovely patio overlooking a cascade, the sound of which is very pleasant and not noisy at all. The room is very spacious, even more than you can expect from the photos, comfortable and beautifully decorated in Haiwaian style. The place itself is very close to the historic center of Hilo, so a lot can be done from there.
