Yes, you are in Hilo - a great Hawaiian town with lots of things to do, places to visit and wonderful eateries for culinary enthusiasts. This home was such an unexpected treat because it had a classic "lived-in" feeling with all the memorabilia, family pictures, built-in wood cabinets and Hawaiian decor of an old-style plantation house. There was lots of space to spread out and find your own private corner to relax in while at the same time accommodating 4-6 people comfortably. I would definitely recommend this home to any of my family or friends planning to spend time on the Hilo side of the Big Island both for it's amenities/comfort and centralized location to popular destinations and Volcano Nat'l Park.
