Really close to airport but I never was bothered by airplane noise. I kept thinking how lucky we were after long flights to have a place to drive to that was 10 minutes from the airport! Great location across from fish pond and restaurant and next to park. Your backyard is a swimming lagoon, which has good snorkeling. My husband swam near a turtle. Water is cold but u can get used to it (December). Snorkel gear available. Clothes rack on porch. Seating on balcony. Sofa bed functional. Great queen bed in one bdrm with amazing windows to wake up to sunrise, forest and lagoon. Kitchen had all needed to cook there every day. Some food and condiment supplies.
I used condo pool too - even though it was a bit chilly water! May not be heated but it was functional for early am exercise.
Key was easy to access. Laundry $2 each - bring quarters. Trash down shoot in laundry on same floor.
Loved this place!
Loved staying in Hilo as opposed to Kona - less touristy. Handy to all parts of island.
