If you are looking for a quiet, spacious, well equipped home to spend some time in the Hilo area, this is it! It's close to everything on that side, you can plan easy day trips and come back to relax. Michelle provided a nice gift tray with a few island snacks, even fresh fruit, to welcome us to her home. The home was very clean and in great working order. The washer and dryer are great for keeping laundry done. There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. We were a group of 4 adults and we had everything we wanted to make our stay wonderful. You need a car to get around. Traffic was no problem but there are rush hours to be aware of. Do try the recommended eateries, they are great local businesses to support. Highly recommend this home.
