Megan and Jasper's place was perfect. If you want to see how it feels to live like a local, this is the place for you. Located right in downtown Hilo, but very peaceful and quiet. I really enjoyed walking to the farmer's market and local shops every day and evening. The space was very well appointed as far as kitchen and bathroom and separate sleeping and lounging area. You will have everything you need there, including internet if you need it. It was airy and bright during the day and nice and dark at night. You can hear the birds in the morning and the frogs will sing you to sleep. There is a little fridge in the kitchen and a great little electric pot to heat up water for tea and a little stove top if you feel like cooking. We enjoyed the local eateries rather than cooking. Pineapples restaurant is right across the street and has great food and there is an AWESOME little spot within a few steps from the place that sells real chocolate and coffee that's grown and processed by the owners of the shop- best coffee and chocolate I've ever had, especially when mixed together!
The driving directions were really helpful, but don't be overwhelmed by the details, if you pass it, it's easy to turn around and start over. Hilo is a pleasant, easy and low key destination. Relax and enjoy your visit at Two Dragons!
