Edward and Lanessa's place was fantastic. It is right in Hilo, and perfect if your goal is to "live like a local." The house is old, but it does not feel old. It was immaculately clean, had new appliances, new paint, and was overall in great condition. They live next door and are very responsive. At the same time, they were happy to just let us do our thing. We are in Hilo often, and if we ever need a place to stay, we will be back.
