I stayed in one of the bedrooms of Ludyme's 3 bedroom house in Ainaloa. The location offers great value for anyone wishing to stay on the Hilo side of The Big Island. The host is a wonderful lady who is very compassionate and patient with guest requests. While I stayed at her home, she had another guest in the second bedroom (I was in the third) and we lived like one happy family for a week. As someone who prefers to prepare his own meals versus restaurants, the premises was perfect, as I had the whole kitchen virtually for myself every morning and afternoon. In the evening, Ludyme always provided me the opportunity to prepare my dinner at the appropriate time. The location of the home is about 7 miles east of Hwy #11 which provides quick access to Volcano and Hilo. As I am a very light sleeper, the only issue I had with the location was the neighboring dogs and rooster who were very active at times. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this home which could function as a one bedroom opportunity for singles or couples or a two bedroom opportunity for multiple guests wishing to share a warm home. I would not hesitate to stay here again, as the host is a kind, compassionate and loving person whom I interacted with on a daily basis. I highly recommend staying at Ludyme's home as she helped me with something new everyday.
