We love visiting Hilo and were happy to find an affordable place for our big group (7 people) to stay, quite close to our favorite spots. The duplex is in a neighborhood close to a school, so traffic was a little tricky getting there or leaving during certain parts of the day. And there was plenty of neighborhood noise. But for the most part we were gone during the day and at night it was quieter. The house was tidy and nicely decorated. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with basic supplies needed for meal prep during our 6 night stay. Our main complaint during our stay was the bedding situation (not enough bedding supplied for our group of 7 and very flat pillows) but the hosts quickly responded by ordering us what we needed to be more comfortable to be picked up at Target. They were very gracious and quick to respond to messages. Overall, this is a great deal for a place with 2 king beds, 2 sleeper sofas, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and laundry room! And great hosts!
