We stayed here for 1 night, during our 2 week stay in Kona. We wanted to experience Uncle Roberts Market (wed eve) in Pahoa, and do other excursions in Hilo without the late drive home. This rustic, old, downtown cottage served our needs (4 of us) at a very reasonable rate. It is quiet unless you don't like the sounds of exotic birds after sundown for a bit. We loved it. A 4 minute walk to Pele's Kichen for breakfast and right next door to a 7/11. We did not stay or hang out in the unit (except for a few beers in the kitchen before bedtime), not really what it's meant for....
