This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Hilo, I have been traveling around the island for four months now. The reason is the location is close to town...and very old school Hilo....a 1930's neighborhood. If you are looking for luxury this is not your digs...but if you are looking for authentic and down to earth this is it! The air was a bit still and could use a ceiling fan...but other than that, a wonderful stay. Donna even makes a balanced breakfast for you ( she leaves it on your kitchen table every morning) and even served nice strong kona coffee and local papaya that grows right on her property!
