Extremely clean with a good amount of accommodations. Most rentals have terrible couches, these were so big and comfy to be able to hang with the family. Very happy with our stay!

We were there for Merrie Monarch and wanted somewhere within walking distance to things in Hilo Town. The location is ideal and the neighborhood felt safe. I wouldn't walk alone at night to town but it was otherwise fine in groups.It was very clean. The two primary things to consider if deciding to stay - (1) the stairs were hard to navigate every day for not only my elderly parents but also for me with my bad knee. Thankfully we could all still sleep upstairs in the bedrooms because there was a half bathroom upstairs in terms of getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The shower is downstairs. Because of this we would not stay here again. But, if you are healthy and have no problem with stairs, it is a fantastic unit. (2) some of the windows have only a sheer curtain covering and we were uncomfortable with people being able to look straight in so we used a bunch of towels to tape up over those windows. But if that doesn't bother you, it's totally fine. (3) in the main bathroom/shower downstairs, there is a weird mini slope from where the sink is to the toilet and shower. I tripped on it multiple times before finally remembering it was there. (4) a couple of the ceiling fans were hard to either turn on or off the light or fan (i.e. if you wanted the fan on but the light off or vice versa).Overall, a great property for the right visitor. Not for us but probably fantastic for many others.
