The house is one of 4 or 5 small houses of roughly similar size sharing a yard with plants and trees and a koi pond, though there is no place to sit in the yard as far as I could tell. The house has 3 bedrooms, one of which has a separate entrance right next to the main entrance. There's a nice covered lanai with room to sit outside and lighting to read at night, which is nice in the (often) rainy weather. The house is basic, maybe better set up for a short visit. There's only one roughly 2'x2'x3' dresser for the whole place and maybe a half dozen hangers and that's it for clothing storage. The kitchen has a 4 burner stove, a regular sized fridge, a couple of pans, a couple of pots, a collander, a whisk, a spatula, a spoon, a toaster, a cutting board and knife and dishes for 3. So enough to cook something not too complicated. There were some dribs and drabs of olive oil and vinegar but those were the only food items, other than tea, coffee, sugar and milk, which are generously provided. Two of the bedrooms are queens and one is a single. Only 1 queen bedroom has a ceiling fan, a standalone fan is provided for the single room, which has no windows (and which you need to walk through to get to the shower), and the room with the separate entrance has no fan but does have windows. Not all of the windows have screens, which means that you have to decide between bugs and cooler air. The living room has a couch and a chair and the dining area is 3 stools by the kitchen counter, a little cozy for 3 adults. The shower is private but the changing area is private only if no one is walking by the place (which is most of the time, but still...) - a little effort could make that private as well. The place is fairly quiet but you are in the thick of things so there are truck noises in the morning and the coqui frogs are loud and go all night, so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. I didn't hear any neighbors but hard to say if the place was fully occupied. Hilo is a great town, has tons of good food options and live music and a well stocked grocery store a block away. But rainy even for a Portlander like myself. Overall, if you're not expecting too much, it's a good place to stay.
