This is a wonderful place for one or two people. Even though there is no elevator, I liked being on the third (top) floor and in a corner unit. It's small, but I love how the place is decorated and has everything a person needs, including a lanai. There's no air conditioning, but plenty of fans and often the nights are cool and I found the temperature in the unit comfortable. The location is convenient and I love Hilo. A couple of perks are a nearby health food store, a terrific restaurant only a couple blocks away and a friendly little bar very nearby, and other interesting places not far as well. Joy is an excellent host. I appreciated her being available by phone when I arrived at night and checking on me later during my stay. I was totally happy with my stay.
