The home is easy to access and the provided instruction for entry and parking are accurate. Entering the home from the front door is a welcome of nostalgia (for me, anyway!) like going to your grandmother's home. The house has character and charm and is appointed with modest and comforting necessities from the no-frills, function-meets-decor era. Room 2 is the perfect size for a solo traveler, but is doable for a well-matched pair. The home is located on a semi-corner-curve in the road and the room's windows face both the entry and main roads. (LOTS of road noise, so pack earplugs or a sound machine as the open windows keep the room cool and comfortable.) Room 2 shares a bathroom, so there is a chance you will have to wait for your turn. (Thankfully there was still some hot water after waiting over two hours to take a shower.) I wasn't here to visit Hilo, but I understand that downtown is close and there is a night market that starts after 5pm. I cannot say that it's walkable from the home. The guests I interacted with were friendly, the host is very responsive and the neighborhood feels safe.
