We loved staying at the bungalow. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Hilo. When we didn’t want to drive we walked to town for restaurants and groceries. The place was very clean with full fridge, a microwave and hot plate to use. The only slight negative was the shower takes about 5 full minutes to heat but once it’s heat, the water is hot! Almost forgot the AC was a key feature of the place because we had a few really hot days. Definitely a great choice to stay there!
