Great base for our adventures in/around Hilo! Kitchen was great, we cooked and ate breakfast on the patio every morning. The only downside was that the pool was closed during our stay (due to shipping delays on the pool cleaning chemicals), but there was so much to do in the Hilo area we would have hardly used the pool anyways. Hosts were very responsive with questions and the place was very clean. Make sure to read the directions to the parking lot on Airbnb, those are accurate, maps apps will take you to the wrong place.
