Honestly you can’t beat the location of this home. It is in the heart of Hilo and super close to everything. The house is on the main road but the noise never bothered my husband or toddler. The house is older but the inside looked slightly renovated and was pretty clean. Do note that there are ants and geckos. Read a review that there was no microwave but there was one when we checked in which was great. Check-in and check out was also a breeze. One major downer for us would be no TV and the shower.
