It was just right for us. Convenient close to everything.Did have some challenges with the water diverter for the shower as well as the water pressure fading in and out.The lights and fan kept dimming or turning off and back on. We advised our host and said they would have it checked.My family member had bad knees and had a little bit of a challenge going up and down the stairs, but the unit was cozy.

We had gotten there and I noticed I was getting bitten and I found multiple fleas in the apartment and I’ve left with many flea bites on my back, legs, and feet. They say they’ve never had any flea problems prior, I am just wondering why it happened now and what they are going to do about it.

The place is small but very clean and well stocked. My two boys liked seeing the ducks from the balcony in the morning. The pool is really nice. The place was very quiet.Go to the website what3words dot com and enter these 3 words challenge.easels.comedianto see exactly where the building and room are.The door locks automatically behind you so remember to bring the keys with you.

The apartment itself was fine, small bedrooms, full kitchen and a bathroom that was stocked body wash, shampoo and toothpaste. The location was the best part of the trip, literally minutes away from the mall, airport, Bobby Wong Stadium and restaurants. My only small complaint was navigating through the parking lot trying to find BLD 1. Directions should be included on the site, blds 7-10 are on the top parking lot and blds 1-6 are located in the back which requires you to take another street to access. However, I would stay again, if you are just visiting the Hilo side the apartment is conveniently close to everything.

The unit was as depicted in photos. Clean and well equipped. It is very centrally located within Hilo and has easy access to all surrounding areas. The manager was extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. I had a small problem while there and it was addressed and fixed within 24 hours. Very good experience.

Loved the quiet and lanai on lagoon. The apartment was clean but the apartment complex is old with much weather damage. Beds are comfortable in small rooms. Property Manager was quick to respond to questions. Good info on how to find parking lot and get into apartment. Close to restaurants. Thank you.

Nice place to stay with the family. Loved the location very easy access to the area. Only thing hard to find the building number. But the address to the place that was provided on the site lead us to the building. Will stay again in the future.

Hilo Sunshine was a hidden gem perfectly located in the heart of town. Outdoor area was in need of TLC, especially the parking lot. Fish pond and waterfall right outside our lanai was amazing! Was able to walk to most places in 15 minutes. Unit was clean and had all the necessities. Was a good touch having extra condiments and toiletries. Decor was good but some pieces of furniture could use a face lift. Check in was quick and easy though would suggest in the future, an email be sent a week prior to clarify the check in process. Mahalo for sharing the unit. Will be back.
