My husband LOVES Hilo and we spend at least a month every year in or around Hilo. This place was one of the best rentals we've stayed in. The location makes almost everything accessible on foot. There is a chocolate farm just a few blocks away--and then up a hill about three miles. It's a hidden gem in Hilo. We didn't plan this stay and booked at last minute but owner was very accommodating and allowed us an early check-in to save our frozen food.
