We rolled into town late afternoon. Megan was around to greet us. It was a charming little apartment which was perfect for us. It faces the street but given that Hilo is a sleepy little town, this was a non-issue. The fact that it is right downtown was perfect: we could walk around to various places, eat, etc., and be back after a little stroll. There are several nice restaurants -- we generally are a bit picky since I'm mostly a vegetarian and my spouse is a vegan. Still, we were able to walk to restaurants and enjoyed the meals that we wanted.

For us, the highlight of the place was this semi-outdoor shower -- what a novelty! It's a bit tricky to operate, but easy to learn once you know what you're doing; we asked Megan to show us how it works, and it was perfect.

The one nuisance is the abundance of cursed Coqui frogs. But, the apartment is hardly to blame for this Puerto Rican invasion has afflicted all of Hilo, and much of the Big Island now. Bring earplugs if you don't want to be driven mad by their constant chirping!!

Overall, we had a fantastic time and look forward to going there again!
