This is a remarkable place. We were overwhelmed by Jim's hospitality and the charming house itself. Our three days were way too short to enjoy all the cozy corners of the apartment and its surroundings. It's a good place to stay clear but still close enough to Hilo. Volcano National Park is only a 40 minutes drive away. If you want to have a relaxed place to stay in the Hilo area outside of town - stay at Jim's!
