"I found it quite noisy as you could hear people talking, top floors, tv’s."

"The home is wonderfully equipped and in a quiet neighborhood. 5 minute walk to downtown Hilo. We loved staying here and would absolutely do so again."

"The owner offered us a different condo than the one we booked, and I am glad we accepted it. The unit was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. "

"Balcony chair webbing was ripped open. There were tears in the drapery lining, Fridge and ice bin were in the bathroom > unpleasant double duty for bath vanity. NO MICROWAVE! The toilet/bathtub room was as dimly lit as a 15 watt lightbulb. The bathroom exhaust system wasn't working leaving the room soaked with moisture. The towel rack above the toilet had large areas of rusty bare metal. The grunge factor was everywhere. Upgrades have been done with new paint and tile but done on the cheap with unskilled labor. Tile corners were rough. Overpaint on doorknobs and towel hooks. Ceiling light by balcony door looks like it has been there since the 1970s. The very small desk area was directly under the TV. Power outlet on the desk lamp was so worn out a power cord would not stay in contact. The next closest power outlet was 8 feet away under the small table, or, it was in the mishmash of cords behind the desk that served the cable boxes. Wi-Fi was inconsistent and kept disconnecting. And after a power failure it never came back before we left. Why wasn't the hotel's system better surge protected? The noisy bar had an entertainer that thought distorted volume made up for lack of talent. The bar's Mai Tai was the worst EVER. I bottled cocktail would have been better. It tasted like canned orange juice. I ordered two Mai Tais and a French dip sandwich to go. Mai Tais were made right away. The drink ice had melted before the sandwich was served... with no dip sauce or napkins."

"Wonderful staff! Very close to the airport, downtown, and stadium. Room was clean. If you are traveling with anyone who has mobility issues, some rooms are located far from the lobby. There are no stairs for rooms on the upper level. We could hear people outside of our room passing by and talking and going up the stairs with their luggage. Hard to fall asleep with the noise. "

"There was no kitchen, just a small microwave "

"Very cute spot with great views! Close to lots of restaurants/shops and adventures. "

"We arrived around 9:00 pm, and everything was exactly as pictured and described. The property is nicely updated with a remodeled interior and has everything needed for a comfortable stay— a fully equipped kitchen, a coffee machine supplied with coffee pods (big plus for us), multiple sets of linens and towels, cleaning supplies, and very detailed instructions.One thing to keep in mind is that this is a condo in a larger complex, so not everyone is necessarily in “vacation mode.” The hot water supply is shared with multiple units, so it may take a few minutes to get hot water for a shower, especially during peak usage times.As mentioned in the listing, the laundry facilities are located in a separate building, so plan accordingly. A full cycle takes about 1½ hours, and you’ll need quarters or the laundry app (which requires a minimum 10 deposit).Another minor inconvenience is that the only AC unit is a portable one located in the living/kitchen area. We visited in early March, and the nights were quite cool, so we didn’t feel the need for additional AC units in the bedrooms.We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed it. The owner was very responsive and even flexible with our checkout time, which we appreciated.We would definitely stay here again!"

"We would have given all 5s except that when we arrived we were not met by a host. We were able to let ourselves in using the lock box key. We discovered the beds not made, trash in the rooms and on the floors, linen in piles and in the washing machine. After checking to make sure we had the correct day and time, we called Charlotte and got an immediate response. She apologized for a missed communication, and arranged for 3 housekeepers to make the beds and provide clean towels. The next day the housekeeper returned to finish cleaning. In spite of our initial dismay and confusion, it was clearly evident to us that even in its dishelved state, this property was/is unique, loved (well maintained), and worth waiting for. So we did, and we are glad that we did! "
