Our stay was truly exceptional,with a fantastic location, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuinely warm welcome. I do have one suggestion: considering adding Rubens Mexican to your recommened dining options, as it is a Hilo institution since1979. We actually made a special trip to Hilo to bring back a large order, and I highly recommend it to future guest. Mahalo for hosting us and we will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place.

Great Place in Hilo!

We spent two nights here and really liked this place. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was easy to find, park, gain access, and we even did laundry. Fairly close to downtown to drive for dinner. Host had an excellent book created with lots of details. Would stay here again if in Hilo area. Thanks Joe!

The best place to stay in Hilo!

My partner and I loved staying here when we traveled through Hilo. The surrounding area is really nice to walk around, and the interiors are absolutely beautiful. The host was extremely accommodating to fulfill my last minute request to stay here, and was very communicative through the entire process. The use of the washer/dryer facility was a bonus, as we had been traveling and doing lots of hiking which meant we did a load while we stayed there for the night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Satisfied

The condo was exactly how it is advertised. Clean, comfortable, top of the line appliances, and away from the hustle and bustle of Merrie Monarch Activities but centrally located so you could participate and or attend any one of the many craft fairs. We loved it! If there is anything I could suggest it is to put up a full-body mirror. After all the shopping that takes place during MM week it would be nice to try on and see the clothes you purchased just in case you need to make exchanges.

Out of 6 places we stayed on our 3-island tour, this was far and away the nicest. Absolutely beautiful and fully equipped, including in-room access to a couple of e-scooters (additional cost, FYI, but still, wow!). We had a minor problem with the safe, the owner replied to our inquiry within minutes and solved the problem. A 10/10 stay.

Wonderful little home in central location of Hilo

We had a peaceful stay in this little house. The house has everything we need for the stay. The house is close to cafe, other shops, restaurants and even close to famous Rainbow falls. Parking is very convenient in front of the building. Please note that the building does not have elevator, but it was not at all a problem for us as house is on the 2nd floor. Would definitely recommend to others.
