I am from Hilo. Just wanted a cheap place to stay for some privacy away from family. I didn’t realize it was a shared apartment. Bedrooms were very close. Small bathroom separated the two. Price and location was good.
In keaukaha the traffic can get pretty busy especially on weekends with beach goers so parking on the street is hard to find. Margaret was sweet and stayed in contact however I felt it was a bit too much in contact. Notified her after receiving key that we were going to be hanging out with family and we didn’t return that night. I got missed calls and voicemails were left. No big deal but it was just a bit odd knowing that we were with family and not visiting tourists not knowing the area.
Perfect spot for cheap and if you are ok with small quarters. Location is great for visiting and exploring Hilo.
