Stayed Mar 20, 2026This quirky little apartment was perfect for us. Parking is on the street but we did not have a problem finding a spot. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything. We enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive too. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Feb 4, 2026What 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.

Stayed Oct 26, 2023Major road construction, 6p to 6a. No mention whatsoever by the host. Poor communication. Funky cat smell. Running out of characters but the list is long.

Stayed Mar 11, 2023This place fit exactly what I was looking for. It was conveniently located in the heart of Hilo, had wonderful amenities such as kitchen, laundry, fast hot water, free internet, Alexa music on demand, toaster, toaster oven, coffee maker & filters, refer, air conditioner, stove top, pots & pans, dishes & utensils, and more. As long as your not looking for a fancy hotel suite far away from city noises, then this fits the bill. The older, quirky construction reminded me a bit of staying in a tree fort, with a tilted floor, a low-hanging beam, and a very small restroom entry door width and packing tape sealing some of the floor molding to the wall, but I was very willing to accept those aspects for the lower room rate $. We enjoyed my 8-night stay very much, and we would definitely stay there again.

Stayed Mar 25, 2026It's a little old apartment that's been cleverly well-appointed for guests, with several huge mirrors adding to a sense of spaciousness. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook a simple meal: a one-burner hotplate, a microwave, some kind of big toaster oven, a blender, utensils, big fridge and freezer.... With the Hilo farmer's market, the KTA supermarket and a natural food store all a one-minute walk away, we were inspired to do some cooking even though there are so many good restaurants within easy walking distance too. Everything worked. The host was very responsive. This was our second stay here and we hope to return to this, our Hilo home!

Stayed Feb 6, 2026Colorful! 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!

Stayed Jan 1, 2026We 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.

Stayed Oct 16, 2025Pros: Location is wonderful. Shops, restaurants, food stores, galleries, coffee shops, etc are all within very easy walking distance. Location is above a store front in downtown Hilo. Pro and Con: Parking. Yes, it is available but on busy public streets and you have to be comfortable with finding it and ignoring the restrictions which we were told are never enforced. They were not enforced during our stay. So the Con is the surprise of this, but it worked out fine.Con: AC is located in one bedroom area and needed to run all night. So using this bed means AC blowing all night in this area to cool the whole apt.Semi-Con: The beds are separated by a combination wall and curtain. Close enough to hold hands through the curtain.

Stayed Jul 8, 2025We 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.

Stayed May 23, 2025We wanted a location in downtown Hilo and near the airport. This place was both those things. Communication was poor and we had trouble getting in as it wasn't coded to the passcode we were given. Luckily, the store owner below the place hadn't left for the day and she helped us communicate and get in.

Stayed May 19, 2025Pros: Super cute and convenient location, with a full kitchen and water dispenser. Cons: Beds were a bit firm, many stairs and floor levels. Worst part was the noise outside... I stayed on a Monday night and the speakeasy directly across the small street had loud patrons until 2am. Then the garbage truck around 2:45am, then delivery drivers parking right under the window by 6am blasting their radio. Glad I was only there one night.

Stayed Apr 24, 2025We were happy to find a place to stay in Hilo during Merrie Monarch because our trip came up late to help at an event. The loft is conveniently located, well kept and stocked with everything one could need. There were even extra cords for phones and a night light. Beds were comfortable. Fans in both rooms kept us cool at night. Important (we think) for folks renting this loft. The floors are uneven which was a bit of a challenge and the door to the entrance to the bath is small for larger humans. If noise is an issue, this place is not quiet at night, and one morning the street cleaner woke us at 5:30 am. We used the Alexa for soft music so that helped. Again this is a good location, clean and well-stocked for needs so we recommend with note of a couple of things. We mahalo this owner

Stayed Aug 4, 2024This 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.
