We (family from Germany with 9 month old baby) stayed 3 nights and had a great stay. Conveniently located with 10 minute walk to Hilo center (or 3 minute by car). Apartment not modern or chic, but cozy & comfortable with spacious sleeping room & bathroom. Although we did not meet the host (and were able to use the entire house), check in & communication was perfect. Highly recommended for a stay!
