We also feel the need to mention that we love Hilo for its authentic old-Hawaii vibe and Aloha Spirit but if you are looking for white sand beaches and up-scale sophisticated neighborhoods, this is probably not the right place for you to stay. These plantation era homes were built in the 1960’s and while ours has been lovingly maintained and updated, there are still parts that are original. Some houses and areas in Hilo are in need of a little TLC, including a few houses in our neighborhood. If this is something that will impact how you experience Hawaii, then it may be wise to consider staying at a resort. Nonetheless, if you are looking for an adventure and authentic Hawaiian experiences, we have that in abundance and welcome you to stay with us.

Host interaction and the amenities are sufficient. However, there were some issues...this home is a duplex, so youre at the mercy of the upstairs renters (loud stomping all day) and neighbors (loud barking dogs all day/night). The host provides sound machines and ear plugs, but they provided little relief. The washer/dry are in a shared laundry room, so you have to time laundry; dryers take forever.
