A lovely home base for exploring Hilo. We were steps from restaurants and cafes but it was a quiet street. The off street parking is a big plus. The grocery store down the block is very handy. The house was very cute and comfortable, as well as thoughtfully appointed with amenities. We had four adults stay and there was plenty of room. Good WiFi. The bedrooms have window units, which makes for comfortable sleeping. Hosts gave easy to understand directions, including helpful pictures. We used this as our jumping off point for exploring Volcano National Park, which is about 35-40 minutes away.
