Very nice place and in so many ways just what we wanted: A place that offered great comfort and was mostly very peaceful and quiet even though the apartment was within a larger housing complex and close to a rather busy road. We liked the fact that we could easily walk to downtown Hilo, many restaurants and cafes, the waterfront and beautiful parks....comfortable sidewalks everywhere, polite and friendly people all around and a very cute cat - probably the building's supervisor....We did some unforgettable road trips and- coming from a very small island - enjoyed the wide spaces, imposing volcanoes and numerous bridges crossing incredibly deep valleys.
Sam is an exceptional hostess; always there to answer all our questions and giving helpful tips. The 'higgle' apartment is very charming being kept in a blue/white (Danish) color scheme throughout; comfortable furniture and those special touches of the indoor sky-chair and hammock! Great gas stove, too. Perfect.
