We just left the apartment a couple of days ago and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Megan and Jasper were outstanding hosts, always available to accommodate any request. The apartment is truly a serene oasis, with Buddhist accents and thoughtful plantings. I especially liked the outdoor shower and koi pond with waterfall right outside the apartment. When we first arrived, I was a little concerned that street noise would be a problem since the apartment is accessed directly from a main road, but it was very quiet and we slept better here than anywhere else we stayed in Hawaii (including a secluded apartment in the hills on Maui, where we were woken up daily by crowing roosters). The easy access from the street ended up being a major plus for loading/unloading our rental car. Overall, I'd recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay in Hilo.
