This apartment was our home base for 9 nights and we put 1013 miles on our rental car exploring the big island. It's a perfect location. Easy to find in Hilo, good parking, privacy, and lots of space. We are computer people, so the little table in the kitchen was filled up with our laptops. The internet was good. It would be nice to have a second table and chairs in the living room for reading maps and laptops. It is bright and cheery when you come home after dark. I loved opening the bedroom window at night for the fresh island air. The fire station was not busy, and you can see the sun hit the top of MaunaKea in the morning. The beds are firm, which we needed for our old bones! It is so close to the downtown markets, KTA groceries, and other stores and food places. It felt like we were right in the middle of Hilo life -- in a good way!! The kitchen had a few staples when we arrived, which helped ease us in to cooking our meals and packing a lunch. Check in and Check Out were easy and smooth. We felt like we were home during our stay.
