Had my reservations about this place in downtown Hilo! I had not been in Hilo for a number of years and I was concerned for my family member who have never been to Hilo. This place is was sooo convenient and safe! The Hilo Farmer's Market is in the "backyard"! Walked there to get fresh fruits & vegetables! Grocery store around the corner. 24hr laundromat across the street. Restaurants and bars within walking distance. Our first AIRBNB experience. No regrets. We loved it. Marlene was easy to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable. Accommodated our request for a late check-out without any additional charge. It is in downtown, so we expected "city" noises but it was comfortable. Even without AC. :)
