We only needed a place to sleep for one night as we arrived in Hilo late and checked out early the next morning. For that purpose, I think this place was great. Location-wise the house is kind of hard to find at first, but the aerial view of the guesthouse that Gustavo sent really helped. The house is conveniently located close to major points of interest. The place itself is as advertised, but be sure to read all the details. The toilet is in an open space in the corner (no door), and the separate shower area just has a curtain (no door). There's no kitchen sink to do dishes and no sponges or dish soap were provided. Overall I would recommend this place if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower in Hilo.
