Patti's apartment is a little gem off the beaten path near Hilo. Very quiet and serene neighborhood with the perfect tropical vibe. The apartment is spacious and had everything we needed. We thought the location was great and often dined in the nearby town of Pahoa. Her place is only about 20 min away from the end of the road in Kalapana, where you can hike/bike to see the lava entry into the ocean. Patti is also a wonderful host. Very friendly, accommodating and responsive. We had a great time and will stay here again if we're ever back in Hilo!
