Great little apartment in the heart of Hilo. It was clean and ready for our group of 8. The beds were super comfy and we turned on all of the fans to create white noise so the street noise didn't bother us. The location allowed us to walk to the black sand beach, the farmer's market, the grocery store, and Wilson's by the Bay shaved ice. There are homeless folk around town, but they didn't bother us as we walked around.
