This was our first time ever at a bed snd breakfast.   I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd say Intimate would be a good word, and friendly.  Laurie the owner welcomed us personally, and there were two other couples there.  The morning communal breakfast gave us a taste of the local fruits and breads, all hand preparec.  The room was comfortable and while there's no A/C, there was no need due to the local nighttime climate.  It wasn't near the downtown district,  but turned out to be a plus.  If you visit Hilo, I highly recommend Old Hawaiian Bed and Breakfast!  Thanks for great 2-day stay.
