We enjoyed the location, like staying in a garden. The plants and wildlife were a pleasure.We wished the kitchen was set up a little better, maybe some paper towels, cooking oil and a nonstick pan to work with.
Diana was very welcoming and we enjoyed her welcome food she shared with us. The studio have everything we need to have a comfortable stay. There’s no TV but didn’t bother us, we had our iPad to keep up with the Olympic games. Location is great and close to pretty much everything. Parking was great!
we enjoyed our stay here. It's very cute and comfortable. Off street parking is a plus. The nightly chorus of frogs was enjoyable. We would stay again.
Even though it is in the middle of a residential area and not far from many shops and restaurants, it really was like staying in a little jungle! Diana was super- accomodating and had a lot of helpful advice about things to do and places to go. And the fruit she grows on the property is beyond amazing.
Overall, this was a great stay. This yard surrounding this property is definitely very tropical feeling. Hilo had some rain around the time we were there, so the tile floors were a touch damp (not a slip hazard by any means), but turning on the fan dried things out nicely. There are also a few little bugs, but nothing that could be helped by anyone on the island that doesn't have a/c, so you'd expect to see it in most vacation rentals on a site like this. They fit through the screens. They really weren't a bother, but just something to prepare for on your island stay, especially when you're staying near fruiting trees/plants. We arrived after dark, so I was a bit unsure about where to go, but just follow the carport up past the airstream and you'll see the little cottage tucked away. The response time from our host was fantastic with helping us figure that out and also for the duration of our stay. The shower was very nice with good water pressure and warm water. The coqui frogs were a pleasant dream to fall asleep to (even though they're invasive), but if that's not for you, bring ear plugs or a little white noise machine. We saw some geckos around the property too. I'd happily stay here again :)
Nice quiet and secluded cottage tucked away in the back of the property, surrounded by tropical "jungle"! After sightseeing, it was nice to return to the peace and quiet of our hideaway! Can not say enough about the cleanliness, as we have stayed numerous resort style rentals that were not as clean as this! The fresh fruit bowl upon our arrival was a real treat! The location was ideal for sightseeing as well as shopping and eating out. We visited Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea Observatory as well as numerous beaches and parks! Many restaurants to choose from as well, all within a short drive. The Pineapple and Jackie Rey's were both nice, but each had a totally different atmosphere. Many others to choose from along with a fantastic farmers market for fresh produce. Diana always had a smile and made us feel right at home! Spent two weeks here and hope to return!
Very friendly proprietor. The "studio" is self-contained.

A truly marvelous oasis...
I stayed there for a little over a month. The studio was amazing. Tucked away on a corner of the property it was quiet, clean, modern and well appointed. Bed was super and the best I've ever slept on in a B&B. The small patio outside was perfect for relaxing or eating and overlooks the beautiful garden. Property location is close to all of the essentials. Shopping center with groceries, pizza, Chinese food, etc was 5 minutes away. Walmart for basic essentials was another 2 minutes further. Beaches and town were around a 10 minute drive and the Volcano was about 40 minutes away. Can't be beat for a stay in the Hilo area!
Thanks Diana for being such a gracious host.
We enjoyed our stay in this charming little cottage tucked back away from the street surrounded by tropical vegetation. It is great for one or two people looking for an affordable place in the Hilo area. It is a nice quiet location away from the hotel area but still close to attractions. Diana is a nice hostess who saw to our needs, and we enjoyed talking with her.
Diana greeted us Friday evening upon our arrival. Fresh papaya was a pleasant surprise. Accommodations were great. Diana provided us with helpful hints on local businesses and Hilo Farmer’s Market. We would stay with Diana, if we visit again.
Very cozy place for one or two people. Diana is an excellent host who is on site. Will definitely stay here again

Perfect!
We truly enjoyed our stay here! Diana and Juan were very hospitable and made us feel right at home. Their accommodations made our trip much more convenient and enjoyable, from a full kitchen with a refrigerator to cook and store our own meals to providing a washer and dryer/clothesline so we could travel light. Not to mention they sent us on our way with a bag full of delicious homegrown mangoes! Definitely our first choice and recommendation for a place to stay on the big island!
