We had a fantastic stay right in the heart of Hilo! The apartment is centrally located, very spacious and the hosts have stocked the apartment well. When we first arrived the area itself seemed quite run down however we soon appreciated the charm of Hilo. So easily accessible to volcanoes national park, 45 mins from Mauna Kea observatory and only a 2 hour trip to Kona as well. We would definitely stay here again, the hosts were very accommodating by allowing us to check in early. Mahalo!
