Positives:
- Centrally located in Hilo with few minutes walk to nice restaurants, farmers market, the beach, etc.
- The manager, Jess, is super friendly, responsive, and gives clear instructions.
- All basic necessities are here. The kitchen is well equipped and the large AC unit saved our sanity on a couple of hot evenings.
Negatives:
- Wifi is slow and unreliable.
- The apartment needs maintenance. During our stay, a shower rack fell off the wall from the weight of a towel, a floor panel 'fell over', and the bedroom curtain fell down when we tried drawing it.
- We are new to the microfauna of Hawaii, but we woke up every morning with some kind of bites (possibly bed-bugs).
- For some reason the smoke-detectors are taken out and put on a shelf in the back.
None of this was severe enough to ruin our stay, but we'd probably find another place if we were going back to Hilo.
