This in an unexpected oasis in the middle of downtown Hilo. From the street it looks like a storefront, but once you enter the gate the whole environment changes. There is another rental house inside the compound, as well as a studio. The owners live onsite as well. The cottage was charming with just enough room for the five of us to stay. Being upstairs provide ample privacy, and we all enjoyed the private, outside shower. The location has many restaurants and grocery stores nearby, that are easy to walk to. Finding a place to park can be a challenge though. Megan is a thoughtful person who even set out citronella coils to help keep the mosquitos at bay. I would stay there again.
