My visit to Hilo was to run the BIRR Hilo Bay 5k and 10k race and a little bit of online work. Internet speeds were adequate for my laptop and iPad. Hilo has lots of restaurants to choose from. I did not rent a car and relied on Uber as my primary means of transportation or walking. Andolie’s listing has all amenities available such as a shared kitchen, living room, and bathroom. You are lulled into sleep by the sound of crickets, birds, and coqui frogs at night. The queen bed was ultimately comfortable and supportive for my bad back. Ceiling fans and large windows help cool the rooms during the day. A 24-hour laundry mat is close by. The neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and laid-back. The typical Hawaiian heat in early September was all the good reason to stop by the nearest shop for shave ice. I would definitely return. Andolie was quick and helpful in responding to my text messages.
