What an excellent stay! The apartment is very comfortable, and quite roomy! Liz was incredibly helpful... she sent me personalized suggestions for activities and events to check out during my stay, and was very accommodating when I asked to extend my visit. The welcome wine was, indeed, very welcome as well! The kitchen has just about any appliance you would need for basic cooking, and the carport outside the entrance to the apartment is very handy when unloading your luggage or stocking your car for a day's adventure. I got rained in one day, and very happily spent the morning drinking coffee in the window seat and watching the weather. Good value for proximity to Hilo and Volcano!
