Located in a perfect part of Hilo for getting around. Plenty of local restaurants nearby that are amazing, beautiful sights, and a host with plenty of suggestions for things to do. Highly suggest his advice of figuring out transportation ahead of time, as Hilo is not up on public transportation.
Even in the winter, Hilo gets hot and humid, be prepared. The house itself comes with ceiling fans, an AC unit, as well as a refrigerator/freezer and some basic kitchen items to help guests save money. High speed internet is available and a necessity to help plan out trips and figure out weather for the day.
