Patricia is a super nice host who welcome us like known friends. The location is close to the Hilo downtown (1 miles away) where have many restaurants and farmer markets. Our private bedroom and bathroom are clean, warm and cozy. Highly recommend if you would like to stay at Hilo and explore the nature of the big island. It's closer to Volcanoes National park, Mauna Kea Summit, and Akaka Falls state park.
