A quiet and peaceful place! Very welcoming atmosphere. And the yard was very beautiful as well.

There was nothing we disliked.

The host was very kind and welcoming!

The entryway could use some improvement for people who are not very sure-footed. Otherwise, someone may fall if they aren't careful.

Big room, nice shower, and lanai. Cynthia was welcoming and very helpful.

N/A

Cynthia is an excellent host, very friendly! Our room was spacious and beds comfortable, and the air conditioner kept the room nice and cool! We had our own private bathroom which we could lock if there were other guests in the house. I liked that I could make some coffee in the morning!

Our room was at the far end of the house, and the 5 GHz guest wi-fi signal was weak in our room... I had to sit in the kitchen to use the wi-fi, but my wife's cell phone connected most of the time. Could be improved with a wi-fi extender, or allow guest to use the 2.4 GHz connection. Parking could be difficult if all the rooms are occupied. It wasn't too busy when we were there, so not a big deal for us.

The place was like home away from home; the decor was appealing and relaxing. The bed was comfortable. Cynthia was a great host.

Our room was an upstairs room, which was warm for sleeping in, but we got a fan going, and slept well. We shared a bathroom with another guest for a time; but it worked out.

nice host with many cute kitties!

Cynthia was a friendly host, she made us feel very comfortable and provided good suggestions on where to eat. Also upgraded us to a larger room free of charge. The property was clean and rooms are spacious. It was good to have access to a fridge and cooking facilities if needed. Location was good, especially if you have a car.

This is a wonderful location close to the center of Hilo. If you visit UH Hilo, this should be the best place to access. The large shopping center including CVS and grocery store is close to the place as well. You can choose the best food from many options. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and neat. I could feel how Japanese Americans used to live. I felt nostalgic as if I was visiting my grandmother's house. The owner lady, Cynthia is a kind and friendly person. She prepared coffee for us in the morning and gave us a lot of information about Hilo. Lastly, the kittens are very cute and cat lovers will love them.
