The location was ideal. Walking distance to the daily Farmer’s Market, grocery store, bus station (which you can ride free until 12/2023), restaurants and laundromat. Less than 2 miles from UH at Hilo. Antics Pizza downstairs was delicious and fun for the kids. Low International Food had a variety of sweet breads we enjoyed.
The space was huge! So much space for the 4 of us and then some. Kitchen was well stocked with most of what you need to prepare meals.
Tips to guests, 1) no beach towels at the apartment. We ended up buying our own for our 10-day stay; 2) Host only provides 2-3 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towel so put those on your grocery list if staying longer than a few days; 3) it is on a street corner so it can get noisy so be ok with it or be prepared; 4) parking behind the building can fill up because of pizza place and we had to park on the street a couple of times when we got back after 7pm.
