A very nice place close to Hilo's downtown area. Shopping and food are nearby. Its a really pretty quiet area with a jungle-like feel. Which is great except in the evening when the coqui (little non-native frogs) come out at night. They are really loud throughout a good bit of the night. The spouse was ok with it, but I invested in some earplugs. Otherwise, it's a short drive to Volcanos, Punaluʻu Beach, and the brand new Pohoiki Black Sand Beach (a must see!)
