Yori's place was wonderful! It's this very nice house in the outskirts of Hilo, that being said, Hilo is very small and it's actually really close to town, and close to the airport as well. We are two friends traveling together and the room with two twin beds was perfect for us. Yori had everything prepared, really lovely, even a cute hand-drawn map of the town with attractions and restaurants, where to the beaches that can see turtles, and really explained to us.
There is also a nice spacious common area with big communal table and couches, and it has everything you'd need: coffee, fridge and toaster, also where get this amazing breakfast-- fresh fruits every morning and an array of hearty breads and pastries!! We could also do laundry at a small cost, perfect for after rainy hikes in the volcanos. She also has an amazing large backyard that has mango trees!!! It's really quiet and peaceful at night.
We really enjoyed staying at Yori's and will definitely return if in Hilo again!
