This place works as a good basecamp to either explore the city of Hilo or Volcanoes NP.
Pros: Very clean, good security, and had enough sleeping space for a decent amount of people. Easy walking to shops, museums, farmers market and restaurants. Street parking was not a problem. Host was great as well.
Cons: Additional hangers for clothes or end tables to place things like phones and drinks in the bedrooms would be nice. We stayed in October and it was very hot and it didn't cool off until very late at night. Also, due to the downtown location, it was very loud with general street noise and party-goers.
Overall, I would recommend this place for folks really looking to explore Hilo by foot or for a younger group wanted to have a good time in Hilo. If yor prefer quiet nights or A/C, it may not be the best for you. the location was very central and Marlene was great. No complaints about the cleanliness of the unit.
