We had a lovely and relaxing few days in Hilo staying in Irene's Studio Apartment. Megan and Jasper were wonderful hosts -- made us feel welcome right away -- and the flat itself is quite spacious and charmingly (and colourfully) appointed (and features a very comfortable bed!). The private grounds are beautiful and feel secluded despite being right in the centre of town. There are lots of restaurants and a supermarket within a very few minutes' walk, including a very nice place right across the street, and the seafront is just a few blocks away, so it couldn't be a more convenient location. Highly recommended.
