So the first thing I was going to say about this particular location is it is fabulous. Definitely book an extra night for sure. This side of the island is so much more interesting than the other side and there are so many different things to do, you won’t regret it! What I really enjoyed was walking outside amongst the banyan trees in the morning. It’s great to see all the birds and fish as well.
In terms of the place itself the beds are crazy comfortable - better than at home! There are plenty of spices and oils, etc. for cooking and all the appliances you could want - very small kitchen so cook alone!
This is a place with luxury amenities in a building that is quite old. But that shouldn’t keep you from renting this. The Hilo burger place right near by was terrific, and we had a blast driving and hiking around fissure 8, and then doing night time volcano hike as well. The botanical gardens about 25 min away CANNOT BE MISSED…. Take the “scenic road”!
