Husband was working in Hilo for the week so it was nice to have a house with a kitchen, living area, washer/dryer, etc. It was a basic, no frills house, but we felt like it was a good deal and we got what we paid for. The house is conveniently located to stores, restaurants - but the road to get out of neighborhood is often very backed up due to school traffic. I used earplugs at night. The frogs, chicken, birds are loud. No ac. Windows are left open all of the time with fans going. I would have liked it cooler, plus you hear all of the neighbors, but I guess that’s Hilo living. The kitchen was well furnished. Upper bathroom could use some touchup on grimy tiles around tub and sink, but lots of linens provided and it was nice to have two bathrooms. Couch is kind of stained and worn, but it was nice to have the extra space and internet for a tv. We enjoyed our stay. We were comfortable, safe, and appreciated some of the conveniences of a house compared to staying at a hotel.
