Great location centrally located in downtown Hilo within a garden oasis, as advertised. Check in was easy, and the cottage had everything we needed. We appreciated the kettle and coffee press. The cottage is an indoor/outdoor space, with a small kitchenette and bathroom in an enclosed outdoor area. You could listen to the frogs while you showered at night, very relaxing. We thought there was a high probability that we would be eaten alive by mosquitoes/bugs at night if we left the door open that separated the indoor bedroom and the outdoor kitchen, but this was never a problem. We left that door open all day and night and were very comfortable. The unit is furnished with a ceiling fan and a box fan, and these kept us cool during the night and bug free. It was a wonderful stay.
