I wouldn't change anything.

The studio was beautiful, inside and out, and very private. Diana was very kind, accommodating and willing to share her experiences in Hawaii.

The walk from the parking area to the studio was a little far for us. There were tiny little ants that visited us from the outdoors. There was a TV in the room, but no reception or hookup to cable.

Very clean and very quiet. We liked that it had a little kitchenette with a coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave. There were plants all around the building that created a forestry atmosphere.

This place definitely is unique with nice Hawaiian flavor, looks super interesting and feels homey/comfy.

There is only one bathroom for the 4 rooms. It could be 6-7 people for one toilet. That's the only con I can think of. But on the other side they provide you with all bathroom utilities and extra towels and kitchenware.

This property does totally the job. It is like being at a relatives house or visiting a friend. The personal of the house is outstanding, always happy to help, always smiling and doing their best to keep the place up to date.

Close to nature, cozy, close to city

Nothing much. House is shared so be aware that there will be others sharing the common spaces!

Nice, spacious room. Clean bathrooms. Lovely front porch to watch the rain storms. Big kitchen. Lots of storage space.

The bed is comfortable, and the balcony has a pretty view of the sunset in morning, it was overall a nice stay. The walls are thin so you can hear through them, but it was not an issue during our stay because the other travelers who were also renting a room were quiet and respectful.

A few tiny ants were running around, but it's a tropical place so that's normal.

Great host, fresh fruit, laundry (5USD), personal fridge, very cozy and beautiful home.

Diana and son gave helpful advice about the area ...were generous sharing home made dishes at dinner time, ...great at keeping things organized in the spotless bathroom and kitchen common areas. .I will return ! I stayed for 5 nites...made friends with other guests who were solo travelers...much nicer then a hotel setting, for me !

Well, we didn't know how rainy Hilo would be. Nothing to do with the property itself of course. There was an ant issue in the house, very tiny ants pretty much everywhere. I know it is hard to battle those things in a climate like this. It didn't really bother us but might be a no-go for some people.

The house was large, nice kitchen with everything you needed. We had the master bedroom with a private bathroom which was great. It is a large room and comfortable. Water was hot and had good pressure. Had a private little fridge. Diana the owner was available, nice, and helpful. Check in easy.

The host warned that there were ants, and she wasn't kidding! Heed her advice and put everything in airtight containers—just clipping a bag shut wasn't good enough.

Such a nice place, in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. I loved the variety of fresh, exotic fruits available for breakfast—the host grows them right on the property. One night she even offered us homemade breadfruit chips.

Love the fruits. Close to store and church. Easy instruction to follow. Will return and tell others.

We were pleasantly surprised how comfortable and cozy the house was. Dianna was a great host and surprised us and made a delicious banana oatmeal breakfast for 2 of our 4 night stay. We enjoyed very much the conversations with Dianna and many of the other houseguests in our shared space. It was a great experience!

Pillows are too soft. Needed extra towels but did not find find them in the room. Headboard is too hard when sitting on the bed.

We love the house. Kitchen has all the things we needed. The location and parking is really good. Quick response when we needed it. The place is very quite and clean.

It can get a bit noisy at night with the birds, sound proof is also not the greatest, you can hear people getting up to the bathroom at night

The place is very lovely, very well decorated, cozy and clean
