Michael's place is in a great location. It is a few minute walk to the downtown area, or to the bay. The house is comfortable and great condition and has everything you need. Lots of room for a family of 4 to stay here. We enjoyed using the water boiler and coffee press and making fresh coffee each morning. Loved the soothing sounds of the "jungle" that is Hilo at night. Don't get that where we live on the mainland. Slight issue with small fire ants in the kitchen (very common in Hawaii), so be sure to put everything in the fridge that ants may like. Overall, we would stay here again and enjoyed our stay.
