The apartment is very spacious and the separate entrance provided a lot of privacy. It was a joy to look out the kitchen window in the morning and see cows grazing! Vicky personally welcomed us even though we arrived quite late for check-in and she and her family were so friendly and accommodating every time we saw them during our 4 night stay. Highly recommend this place if any of you are thinking of staying in Hilo, the ideal location on the Big Island for trips to Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea.
