This is a great place for a family or small group on a budget who want a home base from which to explore Hilo or the Big Island in general. It's the entire upper story of a house in a close-in Hilo neighborhood. Could sleep six in a pinch with a third large bed off to the side of the large great room. The place was very clean and fairly well equipped. Bathroom and kitchen are recently upgraded. No dishwasher. Solid wi-fi. Laundry is shared and $5 per load on the honor system. I felt safe and secure in the unit, and there was a great off-street parking spot that also felt secure. The back yard is available to share, but it's not that great. There was some noise from traffic, planes and neighbors. Also, you can't really walk to the water or the best restaurants from the unit. But stores, a great Hawaiian deli, an ATM and a fine beer house are a short walk away, and everything in Hilo is just a very short drive away. A good place to stay if one of your main goal is Volcano NP.

clean comfortable great location wonderful host felt like home quiet neighborhood when in Hilo this is my place to stay thank you for a wonderful stay

Excellent location, close to everything in Hilo; downtown, farmers market, restaurants, and the bay/water.

The unit was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Parking was off street and easy. A good central location in Hilo town close to the historic downtown area, but out enough to be nice and quiet. The owners were accommodating and very nice.

First of all this isn't a vacation rental, unless you are into thrift store furnishings, gross towels and poor kitchen utensils. There are slip covers over all of the living room furniture hiding worn out pleather couch and chair. There is a sheet of plastic over a 1970's era table ( that should have gone to the dump)and table cloth that doesn't even fit. One of the beds had a disgusting mattress cover and the other bed had no box springs and was just sitting on a piece of plywood and the head and foot board were missing pieces of wood. The place was a huge let down for our 25th wedding anniversary and we hope no one else gets stung by this property owner. Go else where, so your vacation dodesn't get ruined.!!

We stayed here for nearly two weeks and it was a perfect temporary home for our family! The house is equipped with many amenities - enough beds and bedding for all of us, kitchen is well stocked to cook full meals (coffee machine, rice cooker, many pots/pans, some spices), plenty of towels and sheets for everyone, and did I mention how CLEAN this house is? It is very CLEAN!!! No bugs, no dust, it was spotless :-) Owner was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond with inquiries. So glad we were able to stay at this house! Thank you again for having us and sharing your home!
