This was the perfect AirBnB experience---affordable, exactly as advertised, and right in the heart of downtown Hilo. Michele's place is a legal short term vacation rental in the back of her clothing store, putting you within mere yards of dozens of storefronts. Beyond basic amenities, Michele and her daughter added a number of thoughtful touches---my favorite was a card with instructions for using the Alexa personal assistant that concluded with the joke: "You can even ask Alexa for the weather---just kidding, this is Hilo, it's always raining!". :-) Access to the suite is through a private door with an electronic code lock, so you don't need to walk through the shop. The space is small (as advertised) but the price at the time I booked was excellent. I'd highly recommend the place and will certainly be happy to stay there myself again should I need a room in the area on another occasion. Thanks Michele!
