Smaller place but well equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. There was broken glass in the corner of the living room that we had to clean up and generally it wasn't the cleanest when we checked in.Location was good and made it easy to travel around Hilo and the east side of the island.The property owner was great and communicated quickly.

Work and Play in Hilo

Location is facing Wailoa River State Recreation Area with short walk to park and across great bridges of the Wailoa River. Within walking distance of many great restaurants; Hawaiian Style Cafe, Ola Brew, Kamana Kitchen, et cetera. Enjoyed location being more kama'aina than resort style. Pool and laundry were both very convenient.
