The Lotus garden apartment is in the centre of Hilo so it is conveniently close to shops and restaurants. Hilo is charming and laid back and so is this Airbnb! The tropical garden is beautiful to come home to at the end of the day. There is no aircon but all the rooms have fans. The outside shower area is charming. This Airbnb is a great base from which to explore the spectacular east coast of the Big Island.
