Lovely space in a private neighborhood

The rental is a studio with bathroom but no cooking capability ( toaster, minifridge, and microwave though). Host was very responsive and set us up with plates, bowls upon request. Outside the room it is like jungle with coqui frogs chirping all night. We loved the sound, so didn't bother us. Size of space is really only suitable for 2. Location was perfect- close to town and only 45 min to Volcanoes National Park. Would stay here again! Location

Everything was perfect, except for a strong smell

Amazing location that is close to town but feels removed. The room is very private. It is part of the rest of the house, but doesn't feel like it. The space was perfect in that it was comfortable and provided us everything we needed. It was clean, the only problem was a strong odor. We noticed it when we walked in every time and it seemed to come and go, at times stronger than other times. We were thinking it may be coming from the bathroom drain and since the bathroom walls are open up top it made the whole room smell. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed because we would stay there again if it weren't for the smell.

A little oasis on a quaint street with stunning forest views. We loved our stay here! Listening to the birds & the frogs sing added to the ambiance. Just minutes from downtown Hilo. Our host was gracious, helpful & we enjoyed our stay at this lovely location!

Super cool and quiet location in Hilo

We loved this spot. We’ve looked at renting for years and hadn’t, but finally did, and it was a joy. The sounds of she jingle in the evening were great, and we had what we needed to enjoy the 3 days we were there.

Perfect Stay in Hilo

This place was perfect for my husband and I during our recent trip to Hilo! Hannah made the arrival instructions extremely easy. The place was exactly like the photos. It was clean and has everything we needed - coffee, towels, shampoo/conditioner. It was easy getting in and out of the neighborhood. Hannah was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here if we are in the area again!

Stunning Studio

The space was amazing, very modern finishes and clean. Hannah was very welcoming and helpful. Would highly HIGHLY recommend this space if you're staying in Hilo for any amount of time. Just note that the bathroom is open-air to the rest of the studio if you're staying with someone.

Amazing Location

Our hosts Hannah and Tanner were very welcoming and helpful. Giving us tips about where to go for hiking or having a nice diner. The studio is perfectly located to go to the beach or town center of Hilo. On top of that, you will have the rainforest right in front of your door. Communication was fast and easy-going. We would definitely visit again!

So glad we stayed

Perfect place to stay. Very comfortable bed, nice little coach and even free laundry machines right around the corner of our building. Great communication from the host. We did buy our breakfast food and having the toaster was great but a little tight on space limits spreading our and few shelves for extras. Beautiful decorating and everything seemed very new. Glad we stayed there.

Eazy Peazy getting in and out

Central location in Hilo in a cute residential neighborhood next to a stream. It reminds me of my childhood in Honolulu. And honestly much nicer and more comfortable than nearby hotels in my opinion. The car is just a few steps away from your door which I love since I just want to get in and get out when traveling. Hannah was very kind to send communication to coordinate check in time. I definitely plan to stay at this room again in the future if Hannah continues to host it. Enjoy your time in Hilo!!
