We had a wonderful stay at this home. It's super conveniently located right in the heart of downtown Hilo and is walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The home is definitely older, but has been updated and is very clean. The bedrooms are very spacious. It does get noisy in the evenings with the sounds of nature, but it didn't bother us (it was like your own true life headspace recording!) Check in was very easy and communication was very prompt. We appreciated the abundant amount of beach towels, beach gear, flashlights (needed for exploring lava tubes), and the brand new edition of The Big Island Revealed guidebook. The couch was large and comfy, wifi was fast, and the smart tv was a plus. We also loved the welcome basket of local coffee, cookies, and honey. I would definitely recommend this stay for anyone planning on spending some time in Hilo!
