The location was fantastic. I had a little difficulty finding the apartment to begin with, but that is only because it is located right where two streets come together, GPS gets a little confused. Look for the brightly colored building and that will help you find it a little easier.
I think some people had mentioned slow wifi, it is very slow, but are you really coming to Hawai'i for wifi? It gets you to sites for maps, Yelp, travel sites, etc, quick enough to locations to check out where you are headed. I just wouldn't expect to be streaming Netflix.
Pineapples is just a short walk out the front door and one of the best restaurants in the area. Great coffee shop two doors down. Parking right out front of the private entrance was great. The room was beautiful, amazing value for the price.
As a taller guy, 6'5", the outdoor shower was a little uncomfortable for others, I didn't care, as they walked by and could see that I was showering. They could only see that I was washing my hair, but I did have my privacy.
If the apartment is available when you are coming to Hilo, don't even consider staying anywhere else. This is was a great apartment, it really put a fantastic cap to a 10 day vacation on the islands!
