This is a good place for the budget conscious traveler. It is very close to several large grocery stores. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals. The studio is also quite large and spacious which we appreciated during our 1 week stay. We also appreciated having a covered parking spot for our rental car. The location provides easy access for seeing all the sights on the east and south coasts of the island as well as Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Ingrid, the owner, was great to work with.
