We had a great time at Axel's place! Great location - not that far from town, but far enough to feel like you're in the country. Incredible view of Hilo Bay. Newly remodeled space with plenty of kitchen space, which is important to us because we cook most of our meals when we visit Hawaii. Each morning my wife would go out to play with the very friendly goats and puppies. A very comfortable landing spot for an extended stay on the Big Island!
