We had a great stay during our time in Hilo. The unit was as described and provided exactly what we needed during our stay. The patio was very functional and offered a nice space to enjoy the benefits of the Hawaiian weather while being protected from the elements. The hosts were very friendly, responsive and accommodating and made us feel welcome in their home. The location was well situated between Hilo (about 30 minutes from downtown) and Volcanoes NP (about 45 minutes from the park entrance) and allowed us to explore much of the east side of the Big Island. We would certainly consider staying here again if we were ever to return to the area.
