Great location, especially for all Hilo side places (airport, Volcano national park, Akatsuka Orchid Garden, Kaumana caves, Rainbow Falls, Richardson Park, Waipio Valley, Botanical Gardens, Akaka Falls). There is some noise from the street but it is not very busy. In fact, you hear the birds from the greens behind the apartment! A little older building but the apartment was clean and equipped with basic necessary things. We had a comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend Ed's place!
