Pavel and Irina's guesthouse was fantastic. It has an amazing view of the ocean, and the property is lovely to walk around. The cows, goats, and chickens made for pleasant company.
Everything was sparkling clean when we arrived.
We would absolutely stay again.
The internet was fast. The router extender that guests connect to is located in the unit. We had occasional problems connecting to it, but a simple reset usually fixed the problem.
The star fruit from the tree outside were delicious, and the kitchen was very nicely appointed. We appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer.
Papa'aloa isn't a big town, but it has a very cute general store and cafe, and is only about 30 minutes from Hilo.
If you're staying and enjoy walking, I highly recommend walking up the street a mile or so from the house. It's a beautiful neighborhood and the ocean views only get better as the elevation increases.
