The Somewhere over the Rainbow Loft was like our home away from home while in Hilo. It was well appointed, clean, and quite spacious given its layout. We could truly relax! It was walking distance to the downtown area and close to the waterfront. There are two supermarkets close to the loft, as well as a number of restaurants, shops, and the Farmer's Market. Main market day is Sunday but the produce vendors were there daily while we were there.
There was even a lovely gift basket of some delicious sweets and Hawaiian coffee upon arrival. Though we brought our own snorkeling equipment, they definitely thought of everything with very practical amenities like extra snorkeling equipment, a beach umbrella, more beach towels, an outdoor grill, chairs, and table to ensure that guests made the most of their stay in Hilo whatever their travel plans were.
Communication was excellent throughout our stay, even before we arrived. Would highly recommend this little gem of a place, as well as the hosts!
