A review has no value if it isn't the travellers honest opinion. I did not enjoy my stay in this property. The location is certainly covenient to the downtown of Hilo but it was an area that could best be described as "rough". I would NOT go out walking in the evening, the daily presence of street people made me uncomfortable (and don't rag me on this - i know these folks need to be somewhere but it makes a 73 yr old stranger nervous) and the fact that, effectively, the home remains open all evening is a concern. I know each resident has a key for the main door and are supposed to lock it but that never seemed to be a priority for anyone but me.
