Summary: Many places are either authentic or comfortable. This Hilo home is both! Full of charm, from natural reed ceilings to glass slat window glass, each room feels like an old-fashioned boarding room with its own bathroom. The four porches each offer shade, with the double bed ones aside a coqui chorus of delightful frog noises each evening. Closing the French doors and turning on air conditioning keeps sweltering nights from overwhelming mainlanders.
