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!

Beautiful place

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.
