We enjoyed our stay here. Very centrally located in Hilo and a beautiful side of the island. No complaints on location or our stay. Was a comfortable place.
The building is older and could use a refresh however, the condo was updated and was much nicer than the outside. One thing that was shocking (and not a negative towards the host or the condo) was just before evening the birds went crazy with chirping. However as soon as it was dark it became a very soothing gentle sound. The bar next door does get a little noisy however it never bother us, plus some questionable people do tend to gather on the stairways but again they seemed to clear out quickly and never bother us. The neighbors seem very friendly and welcoming.
Our stay was quick yet we visited some beaches (Richardson beach stands out for the sun bathing turtles), caught the wednesday farmers market for all kinds of food and trinkets to take back home, drove around the whole island to kona and back thru the saddle back, also visited Akaka falls and Rainbow falls both of which were easy to get to and didnt require hiking, plus were very close to the condo. Hilo is an interesting little town with a friendly atmosphere and I recommend staying here and checking out the sights I mentioned.
Thank you.
