A very cozy apartment on the second floor. Garden setting. Quiet residential neighborhood, but very close to stores, restaurants, and the town of Hilo. The breeze persists through the night - good sleep. One thing to keep in mind is the frog serenades that last all night. We did not mind. Location is very convenient for access to Big Island attractions on the Hilo side. Close to the Volcanos state park, to the active lava flow (going West and South/South-West), to waterfalls, botanical garden (going North), and the northern part of the Big Island.
