We stayed in the apartment for two days and were really surprised by how spacious it was. Everything was clean and well maintained. The apartment was a few minutes walk to Hilo town with a selection of small local eateries and shops, and close enough the get to the volcano national park, lava fields and Mauna Kea. The only downside to staying in Hilo is the weather, it rained the entire time we were there, but then that's not the hosts fault. Overall a very good experience and would certainly recommend.
