Rainforest Bungalow is a very nice description of her place. It is stand alone unit but very close to her home, but far enough for some privacy But Laura had so much "nice touches" in the unit. We only had 3 of use staying at her unit, but the unit can sleep 6. In Hilo, there are these small creatures called Coqui Frogs and the sounds they make are like birds. Some people have a hard time sleeping with the noise from them but on my second night, slept with no problems, part of of the "nice touches" that Laura had was the Coqui Blockers, she had them located several places around the bungalow, neatly wrapped in a package, which are actually ear plugs... very funny, but my wife and daughter did use them to help them sleep. The unit is very close to Hilo town and on the way to Volcano National Park and the Panawa Zoo is only minutes away.
