Our expecatation for the upstairs suite and the rest of accomodation is as expected. we are a group of 5 that stayed at daryls house for 8 nights. there were no suprises. The location is great and the goods in the area are local prices. Room is clean, bathroom is clean. the suite is very spacious and airy so we had plenty of space to work with, we even workout in the morning in front of the big closet mirror. Kitchen is shared so we have to work around the people in the house (daryl plus other airbnb renters). the Lanai is the best area to have your meals, it makes it very island feel. Daryl and Julia gives good recommendations for places to visit such as two step, lava-lava beach club, hapuna beach and Hilo farmers market and KTA for great POKE (better taste and price than suisan). We even rented out the snorkeling gear from daryl for a good price. The only thing that we really had a bit of a work around is cooking, we get tired of outside food and love to cook local produce/meat (which i think is part of the hawaiian experience), so we had to adjust our time to make sure that we’re cooking when no one is in the kitchen, some time we eat super late or super early, adjusting your time for someone during you vacation is really somewhat difficult. but that is something we should have expected since its a shared kitchen. all in all, its a great place to stay, but if you’re in to home cooked foods, you will just have to workaround your time :)
