The unit was very clean; the bed was comfortable, and the shower was great. There was a nice separation between the kitchen/living room and the bedroom, so I could do some work in the morning without disturbing my my wife who slept later than me. Good wi-fi. I enjoyed sitting in the back yard early in the morning with my coffee and watching the birds (and the mongoose).
The unit is down a small street that some might describe as a bit funky, though I'd say it's typical of much of Hawaii away from the tourist areas, The unit is a basement unit, so it is a bit dark, however there are plenty of lights in the unit and we didn't spend much time there during the day. It is equipped with a fridge, microwave and a hot plate type thing. A washer and a coin operated dryer are available.
There are noisy frogs at night. No getting away from that on the Hilo side of the island.
I thought it was nice to be a few miles out of Hilo, but still pretty close (about 3-4 miles). We enjoyed our stay. Let me say again. It is kept very clean.
