Kalama's location was great. The neighborhood is very peaceful with barely any car or pedestrian traffic. Street parking is ample. Walking to downtown is only about 30 minutes. The listing is on the ground floor so you will have people above you yet it was quiet for the most part. The room stays at a comfortable temperature as long as you have the windows open. There is a hot tub in the backyard yet there isn't access for this listing. I can easily recommend this spot for anyone who wants to visit downtown Hilo yet wants a really quiet and discreet location.
