As we seldom have a chance to meet our hosts, it was a special treat to meet Anthony and Larissa. They are warm and friendly hosts and their apartment is in an ideal location for visiting Hilo. It is a short walk (10 minutes) to downtown, but in a lovely residential neighborhood. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, and functional and had everything we needed. The WiFi is reliable and there is a great desk for working. The kitchenette is equipped so you can have coffee and prepare light meals, such as snacks, breakfast, and sandwiches. There is no stove, so it would not be a good fit for those who want to be able to cook. Also, just an FYI to light sleepers, there are roosters in the neighborhood.
