This apartment was old, in an old building. It definitely needs some updating, but it was usable for our time there. It's in a great location for Hilo, and we never drove more more 5 minutes to get to our dinner or lunch restaurant. Just a note: the laundry is shared and coin operated, so we didn't use it even though we thought we would based on the listing. The check in instructions were very clear, and parking was easy. The host was great at responding and very kind! Overall I think the listing is a tiny bit overpriced for the quality of the apartment, but I understand that location weighs heavily in the cost per night. I would recommend staying here if you plan to be out adventuring all day, as it worked well for that purpose! If you're looking for a relaxing stay-in apartment, I might suggest a place with newer updates.
