The apartment is small but efficient and was perfect for my 2 night stay. It is within walking distance of the Hilo Farmers Market as well as several other shops. Plenty of street parking available in the area. It does get a little loud with the windows open since there is no air conditioning, but ear plugs were provided. Lack of air conditioning was not a problem - it cools down at night with a nice breeze and there is a ceiling fan. Coffee and tea were also provided which was greatly appreciated!
