What a cute spot. Old Hawaii style with lots of happy colors. Nice and clean. Well equipped kitchen area for such a tiny place. Great value. And the Hidden Nene speakeasy across the street was a great surprise hangout.

We had an enjoyable stay with all amenities available that we needed. We don’t end up using the kitchen because those so many places within a short walking distance to find want you wanted to eat. It’s right around the corner from the market too. We loved the speakeasy across the street. Our host was very responsive and made it easy for us in every way.

Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!This is a FANTASTIC little hidden gem right in the heart of Hilo-town. It has perfect vibe for people like us who cringe at the standard resort hotel experience. The owner is also the designer of the gorgeous Rainbow Jo clothing line, and brings her sense of creativity and fun into the rental. The brightly painted walls made it feel like I was in someone’s art project.It’s quirky with an unusual layout, but everything needed for comfort and safety. It’s simple but with little surprises here and there. The kitchen was surprisingly well appointed with all the appliances you might need. Not fancy, but functional and clean!

Short but good stay

Hilo is a small town, but staying here puts you right in the heart of their walkable downtown. It’s very basic accommodations, but I found the apartment to be clean and suitable for my needs.

A unique property in a great location

We only needed beds for one night and this worked out well for us. Communication with the owner was excellent. The location was perfect. We arrived after most business on the street were closed, so parking was easy to find. We left before sunrise to get an early start on our sightseeing and drive back to Kona.

This is the second time i've stayed in this apartment. Its a great location close to the theatre and everything downtown. Very clean space and Easy parking. Its nothing fancy, very casual, but perfect for us coming over from Kona for a night or 2.

Amazing Place!

This was the cleanest and best managed place we’ve ever rented! The host was great about communicating and everything was clear. Far better than a hotel. We loved all the extra amenities and care the host put into the property. Close to beaches and great for walking around. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone else staying in the area. We were sad to leave and hope to stay there again soon.

Good location if you want to see downtown Hilo. Pretty noisy at night as a night club right next door has a drag show that went until 12 am,
