Marlenes place is centrally located in Hilo near stores, good restaurants, 24 hr laundry mat, and an outdoor marketplace. We could walk to most places within 5 mins. My Ohana enjoyed her beautiful home. The place is behind a coded gate and door which made it safe for my two kids under 5. Marlene was just a phone call away if you needed anything. There is street parking that can be challenging at times but if patient enough you can get a stall right in front. My Ohana would definitely recommend her place to anyone.
