If you are staying for an extended time in Hilo, this is the place to be. The condo has a beautiful pool that is the perfect temperature nearly all the time. It is located right in the downtown area, and is literally a 5-10 minute drive from anything in Hilo, that includes Richardson beach, grocery stores, and restaurants.
Joy communicates very clearly and makes sure that you have everything you need. The condo comes with everything you need to cook meals and clean laundry (laundry soap and bleach). I was working remotely and it was nice that there was a table on the balcony and a rolling laptop table on the inside. The Wi-Fi was also very stable. Finally, the bed is comfortable and the area is quiet at night.
I grew up in Hawaii and have stayed at quite a few hotels and Airbnb’s here, so believe me when I say that this Airbnb is an absolute gem.
