    The location made you feel like you're in the middle of the jungle. Easy to get to all of the attractions in Hilo. This property is only good for max 2 couples. It says 2 bedrooms but only one is usable. The AC unit is located in the smaller room with a single bed. In order to cool the condo, this door needs to remain open. Used it for a luggage storage room and slept on the sofa bed. Other than that everything was tip top.

    All went well. Only suggestion is air-conditioning only in one of the bedrooms. No air-conditioning in the living room, second bedroom, bathroom. I believe the listing says a/c but should specify. Owner was friendly and very nice.

    This condo is small on space, but the owner has it stocked with items for your stay. The building and complex is older which goes with most of Hilo. The unit itself has been updated and is full of kitchen and bath supplies, along with great wifi and plenty of plugs to support all your technology. Be aware that the bedrooms are small making luggage placement a bit more challenging. Overall, we were very happy with the stay, ease of access, and visiting some of the local restaurants. We especially enjoyed sunrise at the Japanese Gardens and the nearby Botanical Gardens.

    This place was perfect for myself and my daughter. I was here to move her home from UH Hilo. Great location. Close to food and coffee. Owner had all the basics in the condo so we didn’t have to run to the store. Toilet paper, tissues, paper towels. The pool here is nice and quiet too. I had a swim in the morning then my coffee on the patio looking at the beautiful tree out back. I would recommend this place

    Very well stocked kitchen and bathroom area. The specific building was hard to find, GPS takes you to the front lot, which is not the entry point for the specific building, the directions were not specific enough. We drove around trying to find the parking lot and ended up in some sketchy areas. The property looks old and outdated, add at least a decade to the VRBO exterior image. Plenty parking, but I felt unsafe going to the parking lot by myself. A lot of warning signs around the property about "private", but no gates around the property to provide secure entry. The interior is too small for 2 adults and 3 kids, especially if you had luggage, we had to constantly step over our luggage to walk within and exit the unit. Lack of privacy: the first floor lanai faced a quite street with bikes & cars passing, and the bedroom windows could be easily seen from the apartment walkway (frequent foot traffic), thus we did not feel comfortable opening the curtains due to lack of privacy. Bathroom was nice. Although we will look for 2 baths in the future, it took too much time for everyone taking turns showering in the morning & after swimming, it took time away from other activities. Our first night, after midnight, it sounded like someone was either upstairs or in the hallway banging a bowling ball on the floor, repeatedly. Overall, this place provided a private space to sleep and eat. Thanks to the host for being responsive to our questions.

    Condo was a great size for 2 adults. Nice size TV with Netflix! A comfy couch, firm bed and very clean. The community was a bit run down and the pool was not equipped with lounge chairs. A couple of restaurants in walking distance, so we had to use our car most of the time. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. Chickens, roosters and small pigs roamed the grounds right outside the patio. Overall, a nice place to stay to explore the east side of the Island.
