Perfect space
Shared house with other units located in Hilo town. We had no issues with noise, unit was clean, and provided enough amenities for the few days we were there. Space has AC as well which was appreciated. Also, no coqui frogs in this area and that was nice.

Best Host and Comfortable Stay
Tulpe was friendly and communicated with me easily and promptly from the moment I requested to stay with her. Her room was nicely decorated, clean, well-equipped with toiletries, easy to enter with an access code so I can enter at any time. She even left me coffee and tea in my room to have at my leisure which was much appreciated. I will definitely ask Tulpe if I can stay there again should the need arise.

All the basics plus privacy
This property offers quiet and privacy, located as it is at the back of a lot bordering school athletic fields. Budget travelers will find all of the necessities of a hosted property, with the bonus of a small, covered porch with seating to contemplate the colorful foliage. Check-in and check-out, including return of deposit, went well. Finding it at night was a challenge. The fairy lights draped on the host’s mailbox An initial problem of the TV receiving no signal was resolved within 24 hours. A gray, long-haired cat belonging to the host makes occasional appearances, but shyness keeps the encounters brief & distant.

Great room
We needed something simple and close to UH Hilo while we got our daughter settled. We had a mini fridge and microwave in the room which was handy when we were home bound for a day waiting out the tropical storm. Beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and flippers were even available which was so nice. Check out was simple. I thought the bed was comfy and the AC and fan kept the room comfortable. Laundry was $5 and all the supplies are there.

Happy days
Everything was nice and easy. My hostess was extra nice, always quick to respond to my emails. The room was very comfortable, everything I needed was there for me. The information sheets about things to visit in Hawaii were very helpful. The lights were lit on my lanai everytime I got back after dark, the backyard was nicely mowed and had pretty flowers, every thing was pleasant and nice.

Belle végétation
Hôte sympathique, à corrigé immédiatement une erreur dans la facturation. Elle nous a laissé utiliser la laveuse-sécheuse moyennant des frais de 5$, très apprécié. Pas de vaisselle autre que des ustensiles. Endroit bien situé. Chambre est propre mais un peu vieillot. Réponds au standard du prix.

Nothing fancy but clean and convenient location. Tulpe was easy to work with and is a good communicator. She provided good recommendations for local restaurants. Fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room were a bonus. Convenient location for experiencing the area.
